Thread: Flickr: Discussing LCD Screen Protector in Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

I used to get screen protectors for all my cameras until I read that you can call up the Canon parts department and have them ship you a new screen surface for about $13. And it is user-replaceable. Screen protectors add an extra layer to the existing protection and usually counteract the anti-glare coatings already applied to the screen. For the $13 replacement cost, I'll just take my chances leaving it bare. :-)

I've tried Invisishield and feel it blurs the LCD. I would recommend those for cell phones, but not for camera or gaming screens. I can't say enough good things about Martin Fields. Pricey, but well worth the cost: www.overlayplus.com/ I use it for my 30D (comes with both LCD and Top Menu cover), G10, PSP, DS, and cell phones.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good LCD Screen protector for the Mark II?

The Giottos one with BH is nice but this shape (3inch) doesnt neccessarily mean it will fit on the cam.

When I first went to a digital SLR I almost went with Nikon just because they come with that handy dandy screen protector. I thought back to the two P&S digitals I had owned and how badly their screens got scratched up, so I thought it was a really important feature to have on a dSLR. Now I'm glad I didn't choose my platform based on that simple feature alone. I've had an XTi, 40D, and 5D2 and never used any type of...

i use the giottos screen protector and it basically just saved me from smashing my whole screen!! it took the shock of my camera landing on the corner of my metal guitar hardcase and cracked leaving not a mark on the 5d's screen, while it's in use it hardly affects screen clarity and sharpness,. thoroughly recommended by me, just need to go buy myself a new one now!!

i cut my own, seems to work well. use any credit/gift card as a template for the round corners.

Expert shield are fantastic.

I don't use one...the screens are cheap to replace and very durable. I'm still using my 40D, but I've had it over a year, wear glasses that bang on it, have a big nose that squishes on it every time I take a picture and not a scratch on the screen!
