You guys who shoot HD, do you use an external monitor when you shoot? If so, what are you using? I've been looking at
this. It has built in waveform monitor and lots of other great features.
We are shooting exclusively HD now and we love shooting almost wide open on our camera. This allows us to throw the backgrounds & foregrounds out of focus and gives us more of a film flavor. The downside of this is with the very limited depth-of-field...it's imperative to use an external monitor to constantly check focus. Those little LCD displays that are on the camera are almost worthless for our needs....except for viewing the zebras to monitor exposure. I was just wondering what you guys are using....if your using anything at all.
