3.0 out of 5 stars Hood is useful... and bulky, insecure in use, February 4, 2003

By	JDiver (Carmichael, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Many LCD products are completely useless in sunny or very bright conditions, and OEM and after-market parties have dived in to help. Nikon has produced this hood for the Coolpix 5000, and it is made of a rubber-like material. The hood fastens by pressure fit and ridges, and even when brand new is loose and easy to lose (e.g. in a wind, or just moving around). It is also quite bulky, and since it isn't collapsible, requires substantial room in your kit bag for it. I use this hood, as it seems the only one available and it does help make the LCD visible in bright conditions, but it is a quite imperfect solution. I can only hope Hoodman or other after-market manufacturer will produce something more durable and collapsible.
