In the star rating I vacillate when making my assessment 2-3 stars: 2 star: Because these otherwise good idea is not sooo effective as one might expect and believe! In full sunshine the display is dimmed but not enough, so you do not receive an expected high-contrast image on the display. So I do not actually advance what result I eventually find in the picture. One should indeed eigentlch photograph with the sun or light source in the back. This results in practice, however, mean that the light most fully appears at the monitor and just the opposite effect of that for which the visor should be suitable. What good is a slight darkening of the side and from above, when the light source appears fully on the monitor from behind or slightly to the side? But best of glare protection works when there is no sun or it's overcast. Then, however, I need not "anti-glare". Then it's also just fine without. Take what is going towards 3 star: Is after all a very good protection for the dispaly both against external mechanical influences, as well as to contamination, so especially against unclean and verschutzte hands. Man kan therefore carelessly putting the camera in the folded-glare protection in the pant or jacket pocket, etc. which proved very especially on vacation. You can see the camera and so firmly with the whole hand and has constantly "ready to fire", without having to put it in the camera bag often. I would do without the glare protection in any way. Since this protection I have almost no fingerprints or handprints more on the screen, so it is no longer blurred, as the scope of protection.
