Hmm... thanks, but nothing in my post above is what I would call an opinion.

However, I will offer my opinion to you now if you're entertaining them. A proper HDTV should be your first step -- your very first link in the chain, before making a camera purchase. Without it, you'll be in no position to accurately judge any issues whatsoever of quality, resolution, etc.

Besides being a necessary item to have for reviewing your HD material, any decent 1080p HDTV will readily reveal just how utterly meaningless it is to dwell on counting pixels.

In my opinion, a crucial step is made in this entire learning process when a person stops mulling over pixels and resolution and technical specs and gets on with the *creative* process. Analysis Paralysis is a deadly disease. But that's just my opinion. Hope this helps,

Chris,
my former word choice of "opinion" was poor.

But, and an HDTV has moved it's way up the chain - probably purchase it with the A1.

A BIG thanks for your valuable time,
Lonnie

When I use the Video Terminal, I can get everthing on the cameras LCD to display on my monitor. But when I use the component out, I can't get the Aspest Ratio Guides to display on the monitor, even though everything else shows up.

My monitor is the 2407FP. Here are pistures with the Video Terminal, and the Component Out with the Display setting in "1:1" and "Aspect"

Why don't the Aspect Ratio Guides show up with the Component Out?

How sharp is the image, can you determine focus, is there any option to flip the image and use 35mm adapter and check focus too !!!
thanks

Kevin, that's just a problem with your lcd. If you plug anything into the component in of the Dell you will see the same result.
