Many of the Sony LCD displays that are released in Japan and elsewhere in Asia support 16:9 aspect ratio. I've successfully patched these into the XL-1 and used it instead of the eyepiece. There are other advantages to this: The stock viewfinder on the Canon clips off about 10% of your recorded frame, and is often a stop and a half darker than the recorded image. Using an underscan monitor with this camera is a must, especially given how difficult it can be to focus. Good luck.(posted 9046 days ago)
