350D: Protections for the LCD screen?

[Beaver21]

For 350D users: What are the 'protections' for the LCD screen currently available in the market??

I noticed some Nikon cameras have this plastic protective screen over the LCD screen. Is that available for the 350D??

Please do a search, espn conducts a regular MO in the consumers section.

The screen is pretty much solid, won't get scratches unless you knock it hard or purposely scratch it, but go ahead and buy a protector if you feel safe that way.

I'm also searching for it myself. :lol:

Checked out CP at Peninsula Plaza. They have some protection shield similar to the da products.... but unfortunately they ran out of stock! So gotta wait till the next shipment - in Jan/Feb 2006.

I believe the 'glass'/screen is maked of very solid material too.. something like those glass for watches where it won't be scratched that easily.

Well, no harm protecting it also..
For me I would just leave it as it is for now.

I saw some at TCW. It mount on the eyepiece and comes with a hood that improve visibility in outdoors. You have to call to check price.

I just use a PDA screen protector, cut to size and paste over. cheap and easy.

Yah I agree. I feel an LCD protector is unnecessary in the case of the 350D unless you trash the cam. Otherwise you can wipe away fingerprints/smudges with a microfibre cloth.

Even if the plastic does get scratched you can get a replacement from Canon at around $20 odd.

Thanks brudder. Now I know why I couldn't find it.

My bad! *pai seh*...

Just go to IMM. Go to Daiso. You can buy LCD protector. Buy bigger one, cut it and then put it.

It is only S$ 2.

[RossChang]

Oh... get the DA protector products. definately worth it cos it's a scratch proof piece of plastic attached on ur LCD.

Keep an eye out on the consumer corner where ESPN or others might be doing MO... got mine from him.

[what2do]

donchua is now doing MO for da protectors in the consumer corner, those interested can go in to place your orders.

Where is IMM? I plan to get PDA screen protector to cut it to the size of 350D LCD screen. The only thing I worried is after certain time of usage, the protector will eventually peeled off and leave a sticky mark on the screen... Any quality PDA screen protector to recommend?
