I am looking to see if there is a small monitor of sorts that I can use during shoots so that I can see the pictures as they are shot. I know about thetering to the laptop, but was looking for something smaller that I could use. It does not necessarily have to save the photos cause that would be on my memory card which I would then transfer to my desktop for editing and such. Could I do that with a good version of a Samsung pad??? Not a Apple user so Ipad is out of the question. Thanks in advance.. Connie

Use a tablet and an Eye-fi card to see what the images look like as you shoot. Tablets come in 6", 8", and 10" sizes.

Not sure about your budget or if your shooting is in the field or studio, but there is a product called the CamRanger that might be worth your looking into. The CamRanger is a small device (about the size of a deck of cards) that hooks to your camera and then tethers wirelessly to either your smart phone or a tablet (either Apple or Android). It functions as a wireless remote (including shutter release and the ability to change exposure settings, etc.). It sends the image to the tablet for your viewing. You can set it to save to the tablet or not. In addition it will allow you to program it to take a series of shoots with different focuses for focus staking purposes, or it can be programmed to take series for time lapse purposes. It is really quite a bit more versatile than most simple tethers. It also has a number of features for studio portrait photographers that allows the client to view the images during the shoot on a second tablet. Again, not knowing your budget or specific needs I can't say for sure that the CamRanger is right for you, but it might be worth your checking it out. It works with numerous cameras and the company does a good job of updating firmware to make it compatible with new cameras and operating systems.

Look at the Aperture VS-1. $141.50 on Amazon. Its a 7" screen that you can take with you and connect to your camera by the HDMI connection. It replaces your Live View. Be careful, however on the battery(ies) you buy; I bought the inexpensive and find they do not hold a charge - charged yesterday for use today and find they are dead. So I bought a Sony battery, which I just got and haven't yet charged.

There are hundreds(?) of different “field monitors” for digital cameras. Here’s an assortment from Amazon, just as an example. I know both Adorama and B&W have a wide selection as well. The biggest problem may be sorting through them to find one that best fits your needs and budget. :)

Just one suggestion. I shoot more video then stills. Had a Small HD small monitor not very good. Researched and took risk and bought the iKan 7" monitor for just over $500. It appears to have a very accurate representation of your image. Not sure How it handles stills but video great. All these monitor have trippy controls but can be controlled. A lot of monitors even for a lot of money just don't work. I was assuming you wanted something portable? I have a super arm I bought on Amazon to attach to rig. Good luck.
