Is the camera built-in monitor too small? No problem, this video showing you how to hook a portable DVD player with a DSLR. This gives me an idea that I probably can connect my camera to a laptop, and it works. A 15″ external monitor is way better than the 2.5″ or even 3″ LCD on the back of digital cameras, but the drawback is you can only do this in the studio or indoor shooting. However, I will never do this when I am taking pictures because I only shoot RAW and I have to some post-processes to make sure the results are perfect, before I present the pictures to my clients.
