actually, one more question.
Do you notice any decrease in screen visibility in sunny conditions?

When the camera is not in my hands I carry it with the lens toward my body.
Long story short some rude puppy mother pushing through a line at Busch
Gardens crunched her purse into my 10D making a small but noticeable scratch
in the plastic cover of the LCD screen. That was enough for me. To make a
protector for my Canon 10D I purchased a 1 foot square sheet of 1/16" Lexan
and cut out a few 40mm X 47mm blanks polished the edges and applied a 5mm
square ring of 3M double side adhesive to it. The Lexan is quite tough glare
free and if it ever does get scratched the double side adhesive can be
forced to release with a carefully applied Xacto knife making replacement
easy.

No, but then they could take the review screen off the camera and for
the most part I wouldn't miss it.

where did you get this Lexan?
because my water bottle from Nalgene is made from that and it's very
durable.

Local shop that sells plastic sheeting. It cost $5 + tax for a 12"x12"
sheet.

thanks! I'll have to find a place that sells it. I know Wallmart sells
vinyl sheets but I don't know about Lexan.

Where did you find Lexan with an anti-reflection coating on it?

Lexan is easy enough to find, but it's normally uncoated, and reflects
about as much as uncoated glass (4% per surface).

I haven't made a direct comparison, which would mean taking the protector
off, I guess. In general, I have a hard time seeing the LCD display in
sunlight, before I put on thee shiled and now. I've thought about a light
shield for the LCD, but it seems rather clumsy.

It's not special Lexan however it has no more glare than the factory plastic
over the LCD.

thanks!
I'm just worried that if I put one of those plastic LCD protectors, my LCD
will be hard to see.
Right now, my S230 has the anti-reflective coating and in sunlight it's
still visible!
