Camera LCD Protector

March 23rd, 2011
Quick question: Do you recommend a LCD Screen Protector? (FYI, I lug around a 7D). If yes, a suggestion of a type?

Nikon offers a hard plastic cover for the D90. It distorts the image slightly, but after more than a couple of years my LCD screen looks brand new. For my wife's point and shoots I use the covers you can buy for the Nintendo DS. They are extremely durable (they're intended for kids to write on them with a stylus), adhere very well, and are large enough that they can be trimmed to fit most screens. Pretty affordable too. I think I paid $10 for three of them at Best Buy.

I have the hard plastic one that comes with the Nikon D90. I like it very much.

HAve to agree with the D90 folks. My screen is as good as new as well.

@deliriousoul Thanks for posing the question. I have my first dSLR and I hadn't thought of a screen protector...

@rhoing no problem. it's just because i take mine out for rugged conditions as well. i want to keep it safe and intact.

@scatcat i don't have a Nikon. And my Canon didn't come with one :(

@deliriousoul You can just but the phone protectors or whatever's cheapest at the time and cut them to size - though there are some different kinds, the non touch ones offer tougher protection in general but they all tend to have similar results.

I've had this 10D for forever and the glass on the screen really doesn't scratch at all...

I had some cheap sticker-type ones that I hated it..made the pic look distorted

@arrayofblues yeah i saw that one in amazon.com. i don't think i want anything adhesive on mine...

@deliriousoul - I've had stick on ones in every camera I've ever had and recommend them completely - easy to use, no distortion and a protected LCD screen.
