Marshall 7″ LCD V-LCD70XP-HDMIPT w/ HDMI Loop!

Marshall announced a new 7″ LCD with HDMI Loop-Through. Vincent Laforet has already tested the new Marshall LCD (V-LCD70XP-HDMIPT) and I think it’s a good solution if you need a First AC to pull focus. You don’t need an HDMI switch anymore. The new monitor costs round about $ 1,199 and is available now! The other big function is the »DSLR Ratio Adjustment« feature, which will resize the image while recording. This is a great new feature and I will test it as soon as I get the new Marshall. Below you can see a short demonstration about this feature. Thanks to Vincent for doing this Hands-on video! You can read a short test about this new monitor on his blog!

Marshall 5″ V-LCD50 HDMI vs. Small HD DP6

My friend Jared made a great comparison video about the Marshall 5″ V-LCD50 HDMI and the new SmallHD DP6 monitor. Both monitors are made for the new HDSLR’s. I want to buy one soon, but don’t know which one. Perhaps the video helps you for your decision. I like the Marshall panels and their ergonomics (knobs on the front…). I also had issues with the SmallHD DP1 in the past (bad panel, buttons on the back…). The first reviews of the new SmallHD DP6 are great, perhaps I should test both of them before I buy one. The marshall one costs $ 600. Good price for a good product! The DP6 costs $ 899 with HDMI, but you also can buy it with HDSDI for $ 1,299. You can read Jared’s short review on Cinema5d!
