2.0 out of 5 stars construction leaves a lot to be desired, July 10, 2008

By	Matthew D. Miles "Matt" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mine broke the day after I installed it on my 40D, just by opening it the right side spring popped out and this is not user-repairable.

Many other Delkin shades seem more durable but this one for the 40D does not seem to be made as well. I will be waiting to see if Hoodman produces a pop-shade for the 40D.

The eye-piece and buttons are identical to Canon so no complaints there. All buttons worked.

5.0 out of 5 stars good acessory to protect expensive lcd, May 10, 2008

By	Renato Prata De Frasson (Iowa City, IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good accessory, looks good, buttons are all functional and the shade in the LCD helps a lot when shooting outside. The only flaw is that it makes the access to the on-off lever a bit hard.

February 2009 update :

It still looks like new. I didn't experience any kind of sand accumulation underneath the cover, not scratches. I use my camera outdoors and in harsh environments such as corn fields in Iowa during the summer (PhD work) or vacations in the Brazilian summer (including shooting on beaches with high humidity and plenty of sand flying around).
The buttons still work great.
My only change to the first review is that on the beach under the bright sun the shade helps but it is still hard to review pictures. You'd better know how to use your camera =)

1.0 out of 5 stars It damages the LCD when sands get behind it, December 14, 2008

By	Sam XXZ - See all my reviews

I bought a used 40D on eBay with this thing. First of all, the right flap is broken off. Secondly, I found a lot of fine sands behind it, and when it rubbed against the LCD screen edge, it created a lot of deep scratches along the edges. Although the center part of the LCD is not affected, the scratches still look very bad. It's definitely worse than not having it at all. I would suggest anyone who has this thing to find some double sided tape, cut some thin strips to fix it on the LCD to avoid rubbing. Otherwise you will cry.
