Does it cut down on glare and specularity on the screen while taking pictures in bright sun?

I don't believe this screen protector has any AR coating and is just highly polished optical glass. It does a great job of protecting the screen and I don't get any more reflection with it than I did without it. I like it much better than the film type protectors. This screen protector is good looking (looks like OEM when installed), easy to clean, and gives me peace of mind that I won't damage the camera while concentrating on the vacation. I put my protector on a Canon S100 and it fit perfect, however I could not put it on my Canon G1X because the G1X has a swinging screen that lays flat against the body and the glass adds just enough thickness that it won't let the screen close all the way (others have pointed out this as well). I have not seen any AR coated glass screen protectors out there so this is probably as good as it's going to get for now. Sure beats going without any protection and risking permanently buggering up a nice screen. Next time I need a screen protector this is the one I will be buying.

There is less of a glare. The laptop I installed this on was in an office with windows, so very bright, but not so much with direct sunlight. When the screen is tilted at the right angle this product works great. There are no complaints.

I would expect that you would notice a reduction in glare, if you tune the orientation of the filter sheet. Be aware that there is an overall reduction of light through the sheet, even when it is not affecting the glare.

There will be a reduction of glare but with a trade off of screen clarity. I guess it depends on which you think is worse.

YES - Great at blocking daylight off the screen.WHY didn't NIKON make a screen like this a standard accessory when purchasing the camera ?

Yes the brightness is diminished but being able to see the screen when taking photographs outdoors was worth the trade off. The screen is easily removable for use indoor and can be reapplied any time needed for glare.

If the camera directly faces the window then you might expect some glare, I avoided monting it this way. I have not had any problem even in a bright sunlit room as long as it does not face the window directly.

Its not anti glare, but all I do in the sun is turn the brightness on my tablet up, no problem. This is a great screen protector, very thick, almost rubbery. You will not regret this purchase.

I've only had the camera since the beginning of december, so I haven't used it in a lot if sunlight. However, the shots that I did take outside, I was definitely able to see the screen. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have not had any glare issues with the screen protector. Please - keep in mind that I am in Illinois and it is winter so I have not used it outside yet so I really can't say if it hinders it outside. But with inside lighting in my house I have had no issues. I again am very happy with this screen protector.

Yes, to some degree. I shot mid morning with no clouds and a bright sun behind me, didn't have much of a problem. And as someone else stated, it is better visibility than an iPhone screen. It is a nice little camera and I am happy with the picture quality.

I've had this screen protector for some time now and have not noticed a glare. But I must say I've only used it indoors and have not used it outdoors. Hope this helps you.

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

I cant say yes or no, it all depends on the direction the sun is shining at you, directly behind me YES and it was hard to see my canon PowerShot screen too along with any LCD screen like my iphone.... This is a great camera, beautiful shots and I love the Optical ZOOM on it. The only drawback I have to add is that the LCD screen does not flip over completely for total protection, it only tilts for better veiwing so it is a must that you buy a screen protector.

yes, screen is visible in sunshine, in fact visibility in sunshine was improved after install.

It is a matte screen, so not much glare. But any screen in certain lighting will have at least some glare.

Yes it does, not the best but it works in a pinch. I use the screen most of the time. I think i have used it only one time when the sun was relly intense. If you want to use a view finder most of time, i would recommend trying another camera.
