I'd prefer having an eye-level viewfinder when shooting outside in the sun but most cameras no longer have them so this is the best solution I've found. I did not want the plastic lens that comes with this offsetting the high resolution of my Panasonic TZ5 LCD screen so simply & carefully popped the plastic lens out of Delkin's shade frame before affixing to my camera. Adhesive strips are on the edges of the metal frame so Delkin's plastic lens is NOT needed. Be sure to carefully line up the frame with the edges of your freshly cleaned LCD to get it right the 1st time. The pop-up portion CAN be slid over to one side a bit then lifted from the frame which is good when you want to clean your LCD but can be somewhat annoying if it slips out by itself. Mine sometimes does this if I quickly remove the camera from it's carrying case, however it is really easy to pop back into place so no big deal. Note these come in several sizes including 2.5", 2.7" & 3" to match the size of your LCD. Is the Delkin sunshade perfect? No. Does it help? Definitely. Would I buy one again? In a heartbeat.

The Canon SD870IS - when putting the 3.0 shade on, the shade is just that much too wide for the shade to stay on. I had a Canon SD550 and 2.5 shade fit perfectly, so I know what I'm talking about. The frame will stay on because it uses the heavy duty adhesive to secure it. When you try to then put on the shade itself, it comes off way too easily. If it fit, it would be PERFECT! The right side of the camera - the controls are at a slight enough upgrade that the shade will not stay on.

WOW..received this item in no time flat! I purchased the pop-up shade not just for being able to see my lcd better on a sunny day, but mostly because it protects my lcd screen from being scratched. Great price too!

Good design, effective. Excellent value. It significantly enhanced effectiveness of LED viewfinder UNTIL right side fold-out shade fell off and was lost WITHIN FIRST FEW DAYS OF USE. Better construction / quality control is badly needed.

The shade is simple and works well.
The main reason is to protect my camera.

The pop-up shade is useful to keep light off the lcd screen but it's way too fragile for the price. This is a replacement for the same product that fell apart. The outer shade clips tend to chip off and springs on the hinges suddenly fall off. Good idea for a product, just not very durable. Look for the sales!

I had one and I accidentally sat on it. oops! I found this online and purchased it, it keeps the glare off the screen. love it! it also protects your screen

I was doubtful about how well this would work but after using it I think its great. It slides off and on easily and leaves a very thin frame attached to the camera when it is off. Just wish I had ordered it in black to match my camera.

This was very easy to install. It removes easily. Shades very well. I wish it were black to match the camera. NOTE, IT CAME WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS. SUPER VALUE.

I attached this shade to my Ikelite underwater housing. It cuts down on reflected light when shooting in bright sunlight at depths of 0 to 25 feet of so. I have made about 30 dives and it is still attached firmly. Hinges are begining to rust a little, but it has worked very well.
