Digital camera reviews of Hoodman H-CAPD3 Nikon D3 Hood Cap
Digital camera Review: A Problem with Moisture (H-CAPD on Nikon D3S)
Summary: 2 Stars
The Hoodman shield has its merits: it is inexpensive, it does indeed protect the LCD, and it attaches and removes easily. But in my use of it I have encountered what to me is a serious problem. If I am using my camera's viewfinder (rather than working with Live View), and if the weather is cool, then moisture from my breath condenses between the shield and the LCD. The moisture is opaque, and it persists for minutes, reducing the usefulness of the LCD --- for photo review or whatever. I have the problem when the air temperature is at or below the low 60's. I have not used the Hoodman on a very cold day, but I assume that in air at or below 32 degrees the moisture would freeze or at least persist for longer still. For whatever it's worth, I'll add that I have replaced the Hoodman shield with a Giottos Aegis, and so far with the Giottos the moisture problem has not recurred. The Giottos does not snap into place over the LCD as the Hoodman does. Instead it attaches with an adhesive, and the adhesive appears to have the side-benefit of working as a seal.
Summary of Hoodman H-CAPD3 Nikon D3 Hood Cap
