Wow, thats a slick idea!

Seems like a pricey idea to me. I get by just fine with the LCD and histogram on my camera.

umm....portable dvd players aren't that expensive.

Umm... I am positive that the money could be spent better elsewhere. Plus I really have no use for one.

depends - personally I would be tempted to go the next level and use a laptop for real display, but unless you get one of those ultra thin macs most laptops are going to be a burden a DVD player though is much lighter!

I think its a good investment if you are getting paid for the shoot

Considering I already have one....Now I gotta go get it out and try this. Damn, why didn't I think of that.

I shoot at my clients houses a lot and just bring my cord and hook straight into their TVs. But the portable DVD player is a neat idea!

 

[JimmyO]

Ive seen that. I think it would be useful in some situations, but really not that many

 

[Phranquey]

Ha, this works great. This will be very nice for shots in the lightbox. Just have it set up on the table next to the box for a much better preview of shots.

i use my laptop if the conditions are right ie....no kids running around.

i like the idea of having a 7" viewing screen.
