I want to carry my camera in my messenger bag with my macbook... but the bag is canvas and i dont like the sound of my my dslr's buttons and screen rubbing up against that.

Any ideas? i guess i could get a big microfiber cloth and hope for the best...?

don't worry about it. i do this all the time, in a range of different bags, it's gotten more scratches from use then it ever did in the bag.

if you wrap it in a cloth, it will take longer to get it out of the bag to shoot, your camera is a tool, use it as such.

I have LCD covers on my 20d from bestskinsever.com

They work really well.

I don't have any aftermarket LCD covers on my D60, 20D, 5D or 1D3. The plastic covers Canon built into the camera, which can be easily and inexpensively replaced if needed (and I haven't needed) do just fine.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you're paranoid (or have loose stuff in your backpack that really can do some damage) check out the Zing! products. They make some nice neoprene camera cases.
