Screen Protector on LCD?

Guitarman0 · 19 Jul 2012 at 20:27

Just noticed I have a few small scratches on my 60Ds screen (nothing major) but this led me to wonder wether it would be worth getting a screen protector for it. Do you guys use them?

Cheers

I've got one for my d3100, fits perfectly edge to edge, can't tell it's on there and protects the screen. All for £3, mad not to really

I think it's worth it, I've got one of the ACMAXX ones

Yeah definitely worth getting one

One of the first things I did when I got my 5D mk ii was get a screen protector on it. Don't even notice its there and its extremely scratch resistant. Also cost around £3.

Thanks for the feedback, have not ordered one. The only reason I was put off was because I had ordered some in the past for my iPod that had messed with the colours / been really reflective making it hard to see the screen but I have just ordered one from Amazon with good reviews so hopefully it will fit the bill

its the first thing i do on all my phone and camera screens

Are we talking a little plastic stick-on thing, or one of the bulkier plastic/glass ones you sometimes see?

Got a GGS screen for my 450D the day I got it. Really good quality and very scratch resistant.

I've never bothered. With the 60D's swivel screen I can't imagine how I'd actually scratch it, I suppose I'm more careful than some as even my 300D and 30D to this day don't have a single mark, and my sister has them now.

Don't bother. On Canon cameras, the bit you can touch *is* the screen protector. You can buy a replacement for about a tenner.

Never bothered on any of my cameras and they have been fine.

Rather spend £2.99 on a glass protector than £10? sure they were more like £20 for the canon part.

why dont canon use a thin layer of glass instead of plastic?

100% worth it. Keep the LCD clear and scratch free.

Nexus · 20 Jul 2012 at 20:13

Never bothered on any of my DSLRs or compact digitals and never had a scratch.

I asked this not long ago on talk photography, they recomended GGS glass covers

Great protectors. Well worth the few pounds they cost.

Schizophonic · 20 Jul 2012 at 21:52

Can't remember which one I have exactly but better to be safe than no protection

ShakenNstirred · 21 Jul 2012 at 06:05

for the cheap price they cost why wouldnt you fit one

I've honestly never felt the need.

My camera is a tool and is used as one.

Using it with common sense goes miles, I've taken over 30 thousand photos now and there isn't a mark on the screen, but then again I've never rested it on barbed wire
