Unfortunately, like so many cinema cameras, the EVF is on the back top of the camera, making it tough to use when shooting people at eye level. My primary camera is a Canon C300 MKII, and the LCD in the sun is borderline unusable, so I’m stuck with using the EVF. FYI nits and Lux can be interchangeable for testing purposes. I would say that’s close enough to 2200 nits. I tested the nits by cranking up the backlight and brightness to 100, feeding white video, exposing the image over 100 IRE, and metering the output. I can change it with the top buttons or access the touchscreen. You have a backlight adjustment that makes it less bright without looking dull. The PortKeys LH5P II, with its 2200 nits screen, is much more usable it can be a little too bright at times, especially indoors. Check out the C300 MKII screen in the upper right corner. SmallHD makes solid monitors that last, but the high bright models are expensive. It’s getting older, and I can tell it’s not as bright as it used to be, but it keeps on working. It has 1000 nits of brightness and is barely usable in full sun. I’ve been using that monitor for many years, and it still keeps going, but it’s showing its age. My primary field monitor is the SmallHD 702 Bright. Without the daylight viewable monitor, I would have to use the EVF. The image above shows how the C300 MKII LCD is almost unusable. Monitors struggle in the California sunshine. I live in San Diego and shoot in full sun a lot. Brightnessįor me, the top feature is being daylight viewable. The antenna is removable, so if you don’t intend to use Wi-Fi, you don’t need to install it. I like this design as it keeps it more compact. The battery plate holds the battery securely, and the Wi-Fi antenna is tucked into the back of the monitor so it’s not poking out the top. Most affordable monitors are all plastic. I’m impressed with the build quality of the LH5P II. Supported output resolution and frame rate Supported input resolution and frame rate More on control features coming up in the review.
