Not a monitor for the PC to use for editing as I already have one of those, but a small one that I can hook to the HDMI output of my Canon 7D for viewing as I shoot. For example this time of year I do Santa/child photos for a local charity. I shoot maybe 4-10 frames and let the parents pick the one they like. Using the camera’s display is difficult due to the small size. I’m thinking a 7" or so display set on a light stand would be great. There are many on Amazon but I’d like input from any who are using these units.

Advice welcome.
