Canon Realis SX7 LCoS Projector Review

I bought this for my EOS 40D several months ago (a year?). I must admit I was disappointed when I received it as I had thought it would be something that clips onto the back of the camera like I see for the Nikon D300. I installed it anyway, very simple - however didn't do a good job of cleaning the LCD beforehand (piece of lint) and I didn't line it up properly over the LCD.

Well, I put it to the test inadvertently 4 weeks ago as I was participating in Scott Kelby's Global Photowalk. I put the camera on my dashboard and as I sat down on the seat of the car my weight made the car shift and the camera slipped off the dash. I don't know what it hit but it fell screen first and I just managed to catch it after it bounced off of "something." Needless to say the Giottos screen was split from end to end, diagonally across.

Listen people, It is a glue on protection GLASS with multi coatings, and after you glue it on the camera, it stays forever, of course you can take it off but if you do so then it won't glue on the LCD properly again.

So don't worry it won't stick to your camera's LCD screen.

the protection screen is well built and look just like the LCD screen that is on your camera. after installed it and turn on the camera, by looking at the pictures throw the screen, you can't tell any difference. I'm very picky person and It looks prefect to me. so if any of you guys are thinking to get this, you will like it, as long as you are okay with the glue on.

my recommendation for best protection after install the glass to your camera. put an inexpensive protection film over the glass, they are very cheap like 5 dollars... Read more

seemd a bit overpriced for a piece of glass, but it feels well made. the clear screen is a bit smaller than the screen of a canon 7D, which it was supposed to fit, but it's a small difference, so it works fine.
