LCD monitor protection

[studiogt]

Is there any plastic cover that can protect the LCD monitor from geting scratch?

Giottos makes screen protector film to match the size of your LCD.

Here's the 1.8" one which should fit most of the Canons.

Jessops in the UK do a pack of 3 that fit any camera / PDA / phone. Its only a fiver (£5.00). Good move if you want to keep your screens scratch free. Use a cedit card to smooth them on.

You can get the palm pilot ones and cut them down to size, you can make at least 2 out of each single protector since the LCD's are much smaller than a palm pilot.

The screen is covered by a user-replacable plastic cover that costs around $10, the LCD isn't actually exposed. I wouldn't bother.

I see you have a 20D. Is this true for the XT as well?

I can't be sure but i've heard the same-i think all of them are made that way

I have used their lcd cover on my 10D, 20D, and 1DMkII. It is made of acrylic plastic and is crystal clear. It can be removed if need be. I love it and it does not distort the view in any way.

Good Luck,

Jeff - have you used the Hoodman flip up cap? It looks good, but will the added depth make handling the camera, and getting your eye to the viewfinder more awkward?
