The cover over the screen on the Canon DSLR's as I understand is user removeable, it's a ~ $15 part. How hard would it be to get a decent anti reflective cover and have it cut to size as a replacement? I would happily pay $100 for a screen that is useable outdoors on my 5D unlike the present one which is unuseable in even bright overcast light and renders the damn screen, digital's biggest asset (when you include the histogram), useless for outdoor photography. Come on guys, someone must know how to make a anti reflective screen, cut it to size and make money off of all us canon shooters....
I wonder if a strip of polarizing filter material would do it? There are several 'hood' type covers but they need lifting to view the LCD, OK for landscape or static subjects, useless for when I'm desperately trying to hold shadow and highlight with fill flash during an outdoor wedding ceremony in bright sunlight with an almost opaque screen!
Of course on a camera costing that amount it is utterly inexcuseable that such a solution should be needed, I fully expect the Sony Alpha screen to put the screen on the top level DSLR's to shame as digi P&S's have done for years now. Canon, get your act together!
