Rob
Galbraith has had a look at the Hoodcap from Hoodman, a clear clip-on
device which fits over the LCD of the D1 (just like the supplied protective
cover), the difference with the Hoodcap is that it's transparent, this
means that the LCD is protected and can still be viewed without removing
it. "Since there is no protective cap for the Hoodcap, expect that
its clear panel will accumulate scratches over time. At US$20 each, it
may make sense for some to purchase two Hoodcaps per camera, keeping the
spare in reserve until scratches overwhelm the primary one."
