These mini LCDs lie. You know, I know, we all know. I also know that the cable that came with my camera to connect it to my computer is too short. This cable, at least the 15 foot cable I bought, was the perfect length. I can shoot in the studio and the result will appear on a big big screen to see every detail. No more "That mini screen preview looked amazing!" only to later download it to your computer and see a blurry disappointment. Seriously, I love it every time I can get this thing out and use it! I highly recommend this cord.
