SunBlock
See your images on your digital camera’s LCD screen clearly with an eFilm Pop-Up Shade.

This useful tool incorporates optically clear glass to protect your screen and a foldable, three-sided canopy that pops up and blocks the sun’s glare. List Price: $29 to $44 (depending on size of LCD and make of camera). Contact: Delkin Devices, (800) 637-8087, www.delkin.com.
