    Yes, I have one and it looks a little different - so the picture you have is for another canon camera - Mine has buttons on the left side for the play, menu keys etc.

    I bought it the day I bought my camera. They are made by a company called delkin as you know. When I bought it I noticed the eye peice is removable and I immediatley told my wife I was going to lose it if I didn't glue it on. The eye peice is propriatery to the shade cover and a standard Canon eye piece will not fit. So the next day "after charging the battery" the wife and I went out on a shoot to the zoo to try the new gear. And guess what "I'll be damned if I didn't lose the eye peice". Day #1 and I already lost a piece of my camera that I worked so hard to get. Anycase I was sick - the camera shop I bought it from locally didn't have that peice and they wanted 39.99 for a replacement. They gave me Delkins number and told me to call them.

    The next day I did just that. I got Delkins customer service. I explained to the guy on the phone "Super Friendly" what had happened. He took all the information and said he would ship out the part that same day. When it arrived in the mail 4 days or so later I opened the box only to find a completely new LCD Shade.

    I am very satisfied with Delkin and I can not say enough about how they handled my situation. 100% great product and I love my shade. It keeps the smears off my LCD and it does what it say's. It has another peice of clear plastic that protects the LCD.

    To say the least - the first thing I did was superglue the eye peice on it then put it on my camera. It has worked flawlessly since. :ivar

    Well worth the cost IMO. Plus with a daul battery grip and the delkon shade on your camera it looks meaty and mean! thumb.gif

    I promise you even Canon 30D Users will be asking you what type of camera that is.
    If you don't have creative enthusiasum all you have is a camera in your hands!

    Thank you for the info.

    I took this image from the accessories link for the 30D. Do you mind posting what your's looks like?

    I'm outside a good bit. I'm hoping it will cut out the glare.

    You have posted a non pro version. The pro version looks like this:

    The main difference is obviously the buttons but the other difference you can't see is that the shade comes off the pro versoion and leave a protector over the screen.


    I have a non-Pro version still for sale:
