I was excited to pick up the Canon T2i over the summer. It immediately became a favorite toy and must-have item whenever I was out and about with the family.

Just before our family vacation, I ordered and received the LCDVF 3:2, a device touted by many HDSLR video shooters as the first accessory one should add to your camera to improve ease of focus.

I made a video giving some first impressions and offering some advice on how to get the perfect fit for the mounting frame. While I wait patiently for the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder — my next must-have item (because, the must-have items never stop) — I’ll post a link to the LCDVF video here, and plan to make one for the H1 when it comes in later this week.
