Small HD announces even smaller HD 5,6" monitor

Hi Rick. Yes, I had a real nice time talking to them at length at NAB about their monitors. Both the Upgrade on the DP-1 and the new monitor are still only 300 nits.

Ahhh, okay. Just wanted to make sure you knew! And you do. Excellent.

I love manual Zeiss lenses, and was looking for a way to be faster with them in still photography, and overcome their lack of auto-focus ($350/hour models, you can't be fiddling with focus).

I think this might be the answer. if focus is good in true 720p, then I'm sure it's just good, period, the majority of the time (never something can't fix with smart sharpen), especially using the focus-pull "go-past-come-back" trick, which can be as fast as auto-focus if you're an old hand at it, and especially if the material is destined for on-line use, where the pic itself will never be displayed at more than 720p resolution anyway.

I think my clients will also think it is a high-tech and neat-looking approach, providing a fast way to see pics as we go along - faster than an external compu monitor, and way better the the wee LCD on the back of my 5D.

You should be shooting those stills with your R1!

Run the cameras for the hour you have the model and pull out the good frames!:beatdeadhorse5:
