For the price, this little monitor is fantastic. The image quality is pretty high (good enough to pull focus if you aren't trying to be 100% perfect), it worked instantly with my Nikon camera (no fiddling with settings), and is so light that I was able to mount it on a clamp on my Zhiyun Crane 2 and not even notice the added weight. I also LOVE the built in hood - so essential, if you do anything outdoors. It snaps up and down firmly and stays in place. It can even be removed easily if you want to do without. The only downside is that this monitor takes REALLY small batteries, and will chew through them pretty quickly. I bought two, and got about 40 minutes per battery. I'm going to guess they chose this battery form factor for weight savings, and it does work, so just keep that in mind. Switching batteries is really easy, so its not that big of a deal in the end. Is this monitor going to replace a $500 version? No, of course not. Its not nearly as bright or contrasty, the color reproduction is not perfect, the menu system is a little harder to navigate, it isn't a touch screen, and it is not made of the same high-quality, durable materials. With that being said, if you need a $500 monitor, you probably aren't going to buy this one anyway. If you need a monitor that just works for run-and-gun filmmaking, grab this one!

My rating is based on value for the dollar. This little monitor is NOT comparable in quality and performance to small OLED monitors costing $1500 or more. That being said, I think it is a great tool at a low cost. I initially purchased an almost identical name brand monitor (probably made in the same Chinese factory) costing over twice the price. I sent it back immediately and took a chance on the Viltrox DC-50. So happy I did. In fact the Viltrox has the same specs and a few more features than the name brand. I use this monitor with my Panasonic AF-100 and new Panasonic GH3 DSLR. What I like: -very light weight even with the battery. -good battery life, even with the smaller Sony NPFM500H battery (knock-offs are great and cheap) -great flip out sun shade. Protects the screen when folded. -excellent adjustable shoe mount (no fiddling with lock nut when repositioning viewing angle) -easy to determine focus even without peaking feature What to be aware of: -no battery or charger included. -the color temperature and saturation can be adjusted somewhat but the color is not perfect. Would not rely on this monitor for judging proper color balance. -even with the sunshade, viewing in bright light outside not so good. -Canon DSLR users should note that there is no scaling function during recording as in some higher priced monitors -only one shipping option available from vendor at this writing. Mine took 12 days to arrive. -just received so cannot speak to the longevity of this product. Great bang for the buck in my opinion. Time will tell.

The DC-50 is lighter and easier to carry and mount than the DC-70 I first purchased. Although the DC-50 doesn't have the same resolution as the DC-70 I can still see what I need to see and can tell if the scene is in focus. Plus being two inches smaller the DC-50uses less power than the DC-70. Unless you REALLY need HD display I would recommend the DC-50 over the DC-70 for field work. If you REALLY need HD display, patch the video into your laptop.

it's been working well..i use it only as a compositional reference monitor for my church's camera feed. the color seems accurate etc, so for the price, I guess you could use this and be happy with it. BUT, I personally need much higher resolution to be happy...so I have the blackmagic video assist. anyway, for what this is, and for the price. it's great as a reference monitor for composition.

Many folks out there do not understand what to expect from adapters such as this one. The common expectation is that a given adapter works with ALL Canon EF lenses. The truth is that none of them do, but all of them do work exceptionally well with SOME Canon EF lenses. It is impossible to predict which adapter will will work with any given lens - you must go through the tedious process of trying them out until you stumble on the one that works well with a particular lens. And, yes, you should expect buying a separate adapter for EACH Canon lens you are planning to use with your Sony camera. The idea is to attach your lens to its adapter and not to remove it, unless you really have to. As far as I am concerned, none of these adapters are made for routine lens changes.

I put a lot of hope in this converter that it would work with the a7r II as I purchased it long before I got my hands on my camera. Pleased to know that it works perfectly with my canon lenses. The build is solid and mounts the camera very snugly with little to no play Trust me. This item was the key to my switching from Sony to canon

I read numerous reviews of autofocus adapters before buying this one. No matter what the brand, the most often voiced complaint was slow autofocus that hunts. Having used mirrorless cameras for the past 6 years, I'm well acquainted with autofocus that can be slow and indecisive, so that wasn't a big issue for me. My main goal was finding a well made adapter that would allow me to control f-stops through the camera. If autofocus works, that would be a bonus. I'm pleased to say that the Viltrox adapter exceeded my expectations. The autofocus works better than I hoped. It even focuses my EF 400mm f5.6L on the a7R. Using flexible spot focus, I was able to lock focus on surfers about 400 feet away. Even Metabones lists this lens as not compatible with autofocus on their adapter. I also tried the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lens. Autofocus worked very well with that lens. I was able to focus on pelicans flying along the beach without much difficulty. The EF-S 18-135 IS STM didn't work as well. It will focus accurately on large subjects that fill the frame, such as a sand dune on the beach, but will not focus on a crab on the dune. Using this adapter successfully with autofocus requires some patience and an understanding of what to expect. Lenses are not going to focus as fast and competently as they do on my 7D Mark II. That said, autofocus isn't much worse than my Panasonic GF1 with the Panasonic 100-300mm. I use half-presses of the shutter button to focus, release the button if you need to stop the lens from hunting, half-press again to force refocusing. One or two quick presses was all it took to lock on the surfers and pelicans. Pre-focusing on something else nearby your subject can also help the success rate. I haven't played with the adapter enough yet to see what effect different focusing points have, but Flexible Spot worked well for me.
