AFAIK there is no grove to hold clip on plastic protector on D50. Your choice is only LCD screen protector or those hood with double tape one.

LCD screen protector is not a sticker since it doesn't have glue to stick on LCD, and it is easy to remove.

Dear Arto,

where can I get the hood? I've been quoted rocket-high prices for the lcd screen protector, ranging from 23-37 bucks. That is not normal is it?

u either go to popular bookshop and get those generic plastic protector and cut it to size. or u can get a DaProtector. http://www.daproducts.com

try not to scrimp on such things. replacing ur damaged LCD screen is far more expensive than getting a good protector.

not in singapore... thank God! or else any sole distributor will jack up the prices!

u have to order online with them. pretty fast delivery. i got my d50 DaProtector within a week upon ordering.

quite a few nikon users are using the DaProtector instead of the included LCD protector by nikon cos its hardier and clear plastic. so, it won't get foggy fm ur breath. also, its stuck onto the LCD screen via double-sided tape (easily removed using dental floss or a thin sewing thread), so it won't drop off like the nikon LCD protector.

I am using PDA screen protector for Dopod 900. It is only $7.90 (I buy at PK computer funan). But you must cut it yourself. It is big enough to cover rear LCD and top LCD.

I am using that for my D70s as I don't like the clip on screen protector for D70s. That LCD protector is easier to clean and more clear than that clip on screen protector. Scratch proof somemore.

Arto.

I am using a stick on (duno wat brand) LCD protector which can washed one. Bought from 1 cam shop tat time. Then using D70s LCD protector clip on on it(using double side stick on on the top and bottom to stick in there. After some time esp storing in the dry cabi, it becomes secure. ONly drawback, haiz.. if wan replace the tape, gota wipe abit hard..

to remove stain thou. But it loks like a D70s from far.. haha.

Got a couple of photographers found it unique during some shoots/shows when shooting at times.. cause saw D50 but the back with the LCD protector..
