I put on my 50D LCD SCREEN PROTECTOR 2pcs. for main and status LCD.I bought them at samy`s camera here in L.A for $12.00 and thanks God that I did because I scratched the main screen with the screen protector on.
Can you post where you found that? I haven’t had a lot of luck finding good parts.
I think one reason could be the time and complexity required to replace it. I don’t know how easy or hard it is to do, but a lot of people would be put off by disassembling their camera, especially if it’s still under warranty.
i received my 50d yesterday and have also been given this protector as a free gift for buying the camera, looks pretty cool and great to see a vid tutorial on this, makes it easier to see someone else do it first
Not that I know of. There’s a lot of stuff advertised claiming to be able to do it, but I’ve never used any of those myself. If the scratch is big, you may need to send in your camera.
Hey, there. Thanks for the video, it was awesome. I have a question; If your camera already has a scratch on the screen, can you remove it by some sort of stuffs ?.
That’s a good question, Yellowknight888. It’s definitely subject to scratches. The point of buying and installing this is so it gets scratched rather than your camera’s LCD. When it’s too scratched, just buy another one to replace it. The instructions say it can be removed easily with a card, like a credit card. I haven’t tried it, of course, but that seems pretty plausible.
I don’t really get it, if it’s glass, wouldn’t it be subjected to scratches as well? And if I do get scratches or even a crack on the protector, wouldn’t it still be a fuss to try to remove and replace it?

Brandon the Canon replacement cover for the 50D is $11.62. Why bother to put a cover on this cover?

I don’t know why, but my guess would be to cut costs. Canon doesn’t even give you lens hoods unless you buy their top of the line lenses.
why doesn’t it come with a top LCD protector like D300 models?

Thanks! The little tripod definitely came in handy. The weight of the camera was almost too much for it, though.
Great instructional video! I need a little tripod like you’re using.
