This glass covering is much better than the plastic thingy I had on there before. It is nice to see that your picture isn't that good in the field rather than when you get home and upload onto the computer.

This is the second one I have purchased as a replacement for the factory "bulky plastic" screen protector that comes with the camera. I purchased this one for a D700. The quality of Schott glass is just that - quality. It has numerous layers of coating, and has next to no reflection. Some have commented that it is a shade darker than the clear plastic, but I have noticed very little difference. If you do and it bugs you, adjust your LCD brightness in your camera settings. Issue resolved. It mounts directly to your LCD screen by a thin strip of adhesive on the interior perimeter of the protector. However, IT REQUIRES YOU TO TAKE SOME CARE WHEN PLACING IT ON YOUR LCD. A microfiber cloth comes with the product, and you should use it on your LCD prior to installation. Both sides of the screen protector have a plastic covering that must be removed prior to installation of the Aegis protector. Clean your LCD as directed, carefully remove the plastic from the protector, being careful not to touch the inside or the thin adhesive strip. POSITION IT CAREFULLY. Once it touches down on your LCD, you can't readjust it. Thing I like best about this protector are the lack of reflection, it doesn't scratch when you wipe it off like the plastic does, and it doesn't fog up in between the screen protector and the LCD screen like the factory one does. A very annoying thing when shooting in cooler weather and you breathe anywhere near it. The Giottos Aegis doesn't do that, as it adheres to the edge of the LCD. This is optical quality glass - worth the extra few dollars you pay for it. And yes, it can be removed if you damage it or wish to remove it. Once done, I doubt you can re-install it. Personally, I have never had the need once installed. Although I am very pleased with this product and will continue to buy again for my next camera body, I gave it 4 stars instead of five. This is because it may cause some people to have issues with installation. If you don't take your time and follow the directions, you may not be happy with this screen protector. It isn't a "snap-it-on and go" replacement product. If you don't have a little patience (and I mean little), or are all thumbs, this may not be the product for you. But you don't need to be a surgeon to install it it either…a few minutes of your time is worth the minor effort it takes to get it right. Bottom line - recommended.

I got this because I had badly scratched the plastic that came with the camera. It was easy to mount and it's been on for several weeks and so far so good. I'll know in a year or so if it was worth it!
