Customer Reviews

Protective screen cover ,a must have
The cover in just a few weeks has numerous scratches. Those scratches would have neen on the screen if I had not attached a screen cover

Big mistake not to buy this
Has no apparent detriment to visibility while reducing glare and keeping the irreplaceable screen, dust and scratch free. They shouldn't sell the camera without one!

A Necessity, But Could Be Better...
Im usually satisfied with the Sony products Ive purchased for my A700 but this is one exception...

The LCD Protector Cover for the A700 is an item you DO need in order to protect that big LCD screen in your camera. The mere fact of using the camera poses a threat to the screen of becoming scratched, and its WAY WAY WAY cheaper to replace one of these than the actual LCD screen (which may mean replacing the whole body) thats why this item is required.

However, unlike other camera makers' protective covers, this one isnt all that good.

For exaample, the Nikon covers protect the whole screen and seal the area around it, and the A700's cover doesnt do that.

It leaves a small open gap between it and the screen, which allows dust to get inside and stick to the screen due to the fact it (the screen) has charge and attracts dust particles. This poses a problem when reviewing pictures and that weird speck leads you to believe the sensor is dirty or distracts you from the image.

Another problem is that under certain angles, it creates internal flares which makes the reviewing of pictures hard. I dont know if its an inherent effect due to how light bounces on the plastic or if the kind of plastic used has something to do with this.

Another option to protect the screen is to buy protective film and attach it directly, but that will only protect against scratches, not bumps.

This product certainly has its flaws and it may be expensive for some due to its shortcomings but you got to consider that it at least protects the screen from some dust, bumps or scratches. And its far more wise to pay for this than to have to pay 300 bucks or more in case the LCD is scratched too much or cracked due to use.

I do recommend this accessory but not completely, I suggest you look for other options to protect your screen, and if you dont find something better, then go for this one. Like I already said, between this and a repair, its better to have this.

And on the bright side, if something happens to this, you can always replace it at a small cost.
