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.
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!
