Too bright outside. How do you see the LCD..?

[JoeFowler]

When I shoot outdoors with my DVX I use the EVF's eye cup which shuts out the light entirely (even with my glasses on!)

But in starting to use a T2i I am having a hard time seeing the LCD on a bright day and knowing if I'm in focus or who's even in the shot!

So, what are some solutions for this? Obviously, not having to spend a ton of dough would be nice as well.

Thanks gents.

Zacuto Z-finder. Kind of a wad of cash though.

What about the Carry Speed Vfinder? Seems a bit more reasonable at 60 bucks. Did a search but couldn't find anything useful.

Any thoughts?

Get the LCDVF or the LCDVF knockoff (if on a tighter budget) and you will be fine http://cgi.ebay.ie/LCD-viewfinder-S...raphy_DigitalCamAccess_RL&hash=item3a63f87368

to go ultra cheap, burry the screen and your head under a black cloth like old time photographers. I shot half of my last feature that way

+1. I have used this multiple times and I enjoy the fact that you can take off the EVF so easily because it is magnetic. I usually just keep it around my neck and attach it during shots.

The carry speed is a nicer version of the LCDVF-Knockoff. I would go with the carry speed over the knockoff because it mounts better than knockoff lcdvf.
