Included in the Box:
I have a 20D and just got the Rebel XTi. I was worried about scratching the much larger XTi screen, and thought it would be worth the high price to protect it with this product. In the end, this ended up being the worst accessory I have ever used. I would highly recommend NOT buying this. My reasons: 1) The protector makes the screen dimmer in all lighting conditions, harder to see. 2) It blocks the CF write light - the light that blinks red when it is writing a picture to the memory card, is now useless. 3) You can't see any of the aperature or time value settings unless the shade is flipped up. 4) If you need to take a quick picture with the shade up, it's impossible to close the shade quickly. Because the shade is hinged upward (perpendicular to your eye), this resulted in me jamming the plastic screen INTO MY EYE accidentally, whenever I rushed to take a quick (important) picture. It's impossible to take a picture with the shade up if you want to keep your eye. And with the shade down, you don't know your settings (see reason #3 above). 5) And finally, the *BIGGEST FLAW* - The OVERLAY BUTTONS that are part of the shade do NOT come into contact with the camera body! Buttons don't work! This is a design flaw - it is attached to the camera only at the very top point, the eyepiece. All of the buttons that it overlays are on the lower right. Since it is hinged at the top, the bottom-right OVERLAY BUTTONS ARE NOT FLUSH AGAINST THE FACTORY BUTTONS. This means you can NOT USE THE DIRECTIONAL BUTTONS (or ISO, AF, WB, and SET). The only way to use the buttons is to push down on the lower right of the shade with high pressure with one hand, while trying to push the buttons with your other hand. I almost dropped the camera doing this. 6) The plastic feels cheap, doesn't fit the camera perfectly, and has cheap looking logos all over it. Summary: My screen is safe and covered in shade, but my eye is getting poked out, I am almost dropping the camera while pushing the buttons, and I can't see my Av and Tv settings. I am throwing this away and getting regular CHEAP screen protectors instead. Conclusion: If you really need a pop-up shade for some crazy reason, get the non-professional version - the cheaper one without the horrible buttons.
