Is there any type of plastic film or ?? that one can put on the LCD to
protect it from scratches?

Get Palm pilot protectors and cut to fit. The Max 7D comes with a hard
clear plastic cover. So far I've shot with it on all of the time.

This outfit http://www.daproducts.com/index.htm has custom hard plastic
protectors for the 300D and 20D as well as generic protectors. I imagine a
custom protector for the 350D is in the works.

I bought a pack of those protectors for Palm/iPAQ and cut them
shorter...the width was a good fit...Been using it like that for about a
month with no problem...

I heard some camera shops are selling a product similar to the Palm Pilot
protectors, but made for LCD screens. You just cut them to fit.

All ridiculously-expensive custom options aside; I've been using cutouts
from el-cheapo standard office-supply acetate sheet protectors, taped
over the LCD, without incurring any kind of misadventure.

I bet that tape looks like sh.t on a good camera.

I used to use static cling window decal material on my 10D, but it
would start to peel off after a couple months or so. So I just bought
one of those plastic Hoodman things and it hasn't been a problem.
