Look elsewhere........2006-11-17
I purchased this product to protect the 2.5" LCD on my Panasonic Lumix FX01 digital camera. As said in a previous review, the strip will severely reduce the clarity and quality of display.
Also, it doesn't completely cover the LCD display on the Panasonic Lumix FX01, which is labeled as 2.5", leaving about 10% of the display unprotected and susceptible to scratches.
I'm sure there are much better products out there, I only wish I had found it instead of this.
Not Worth Buying.......2006-07-07
I purchased the 1.8" and 2.5" screen protectors for my EOS Rebel XT and 5D digital cameras based on Giottos' marketing spiel: "Giotto's professional screen protector is optimized for almost all common LCD screens, with its high quality, there is no longer any need to bother about finger print, scratching, and smudging; and more, it enhances picture display."
While it's true that you won't notice finger prints or smudging on the covered screen, you'll also lose a substantial amount of screen visibility because the protector has a frosty sheen that cuts down severely on image clarity. This isn't so obvious indoors, but once outside, the protector actually worsened the Canon LCD's already poor visibility in sunlight. Adjusting the LCD screen to the brightest level did not help. Needless to say, the protector did not remain on my cameras for more than five minutes.
If you still feel compelled to try this product for your digital camera, you may want to first measure the glass surface area of your camera back before selecting the proper size. On my Canons, the protector only covers the actual image areas, leaving the rest of the large, rear glass panel unprotected.

Giottos - Not effective.......2007-10-06
I'm your basic amatuer photo person. I purchased Giotto, GGI, and Hoodman screen protectors because I wanted to get all 3 and see which worked best.
Giotto includes 3 protectors, a nice cleaning cloth, and an ineffective cardboard squeegee to apply the protector. The big problem with the Giottos was trying to remove air bubbles from beneath the protector. While that was mostly possible with the GGI and Hoodman, it simply was not possible to get a good adhesion and remove air bubbles.
The Giottos was the most expensive - so I expected the best quality / ease of use - but this was not the case.
The Hoodman was probably my first choice. It seemed to have the best adhesion and went on fairly well with minimum bubbles. They include 12 protectors and a useful plastic squeegee. They do not include any cleaning cloth.
The GGI was also good. Included a plastic squeege card, 1 wet wipe, one dry wipe to clean the screen. They do have lines on each protector so it is a bit easier to cut the protector to size. Just don't use their black corner line - instead - start measuring from one of the pre-cut factory corners - that way you know you will end up with 2 factory cut - straight edges (which is better)
Either Hoodman or GGI can be effective, but I'd suggest passing on Giottos - it just doesn't work.
