Do you know the purpose of the "std" pop-up vs the "pro" model? I do not understand why one would need the "pro" model with the extension buttons along the left side. Sounds like something to charge more for with no practical benefit. What do you think?

The link below shows both...

I used to cut PDA protectors to fit the LCD on my Canon D60 and 20D. I've gone unprotected for over one year now without a scratch. I don't understand why anyone would spend that kind of money to protect a $10 LCD cover. If my LCD gets a scratch, I'll spend the $10 and replace it myself. Also, what a pain to have to constantly open and close the LCD cover.

helps a whole lot in heavy sunlight tho. shading the LCD so that you can see it without squinting. also protects buttons and such. I have a cut PDA protector covering my top display.

Yikes, we must be twins. That's my history too.

Protection
I saw one and thought what the heck and I really do like it and the convenience of the button arrangement as well. Small complaint about being able to bump the eyepiece and have it come off while the camera is over my shoulder hanging from the strap. Cured most of it by adding 2 layers of scotch tape around the face to thicken the area the clips hold.

If you are a gimper, it could be a pita opening and closing the hood but for a quick check in bright light it sure saves the day. Will probably get another one for the other camera from Santa.

I have the hoodman which is the same as the cheaper delkin. Works fine, a little bit of a pain if you like to look at your lcd a lot. I think the more expensive delkin would be nice with all the buttons being easier to get to, the hoodman is right on the edge of them (not a big deal).

Using this method on my 10D as well as the top LCD panel. Works great with my iPod as well.

I would go for the Hoodman, I have them on my cameras and have never regretted buying them, they have saved me more times than you could ever imagine.
