1D MKii vs 550D and vs 70D

Can not recommend using the camera LCD screen to review images. Old screens weren't that great to begin with. The image on the screen is not the same image as the camera captured. It is a reduced resolution low quality preview JPEG.

I think that with a bigger and with more dots screen from now days is possible to have an idea if the image is more or less good, what I cannot say about the 2" 230,000 dots from the 1D MKii, so a good LCD screen in my opinion is very useful to do the first filter on the photos taken.

Number of pixels needed depends on what you are doing with your images. Only takes a few MP to share online or make small prints. This is why I recommend outputting to the largest size that you are likely to use when trying to compare bodies to see if there is a difference based on your actual usage of the images.

This makes perfect sense, but I think is valid to know how they compare on their biggest output as well.

I know that the number of pixels just matters depending in what you do with your images, but I fell good when I open the photo in its maximum size and it make my 24" screen look small, so I rather spend a bit more and keep this useless pleasure
