I'd like to hear what owners of the 9" touchscreen monitor are thinking about it. Any improvements or changes from the 5"? Thoughts about having such a large screen attached to the body? Would love to hear any feedback.
 
If your camera is on a dolly or sticks, the 9" does not feel overly large. I thought it was just a toy / just useful for big productions where the camera is built out huge anyway... wrong. With just the Epic and a prime, the 9" does wonders for collaborating on the image with crew around the camera. Seeing your image with that level of sharpness with the responsiveness and color characteristics of the Red LCD port is BADASS... ACs and color conscious DPs rejoice.

especially if you frequently shoot high angle. especially if you're shooting something detail critical and the AC / operator should be able to really see things like noise, reflections etc.

shooting handheld on the shoulder with it, unless you're nearsighted, I can't imagine.
 
From my brief time with it all I can say is that it's really nice. In terms of functionality it works the same as the the Red Touch 5.0" LCD, but it's bigger and easier to navigate if you have larger fingers. I don't have a problem attaching it to the body. It is large, but it's right at that point where it's not too big. It's really nice for locking critical focus.

thanks Phil! Any noticable extra power draw compared to 5"?
 
I've ordered one as well. Can't wait for it arrive. I find that sometimes with the 5" its hard to see objects at the edges especially if there's foreground objects in the frame. There have been a couple of times where I didn't see an offending cable encroaching into the frame due to the size of the monitor.

It draws more, but if you are running off of bricks I would say it's not an issue. I would have no way to guesstimate it as we only went through 2 bricks on the shooting day.
 
Hi have sold all other monitors, including the DP6, I just love the new 9" so much I will not go back to the smaller ones, and not only for the added resolution, but because I find it simply a stunning LCD, it is of course heavier as is much bigger, but fills very solid and when mounted on a cine set up with the MB and all, it really mixes in pretty well, of course when mounted on the Epic Brain alone, with just a small lens in front of it, the 9" takes over... ;)

Not when they have the same number of pixels. I'd much rather have a 216 DPI 7" screen than a 167 DPI anything.

I hear you... Have you seen the monitor though? Its pretty impressive. The only thing is I don't really like the menu navigation on the DP7 or the fact that its not easily used with the evf plugin on my camera. And some of the small hd monitors had these resizing issues with several cameras like the 7Ds & 5Ds but they might have worked that out.
