Yeah, I know, it is for protection, but what is the point? I put a protective screen on my iPhone when I bought it 3.25 years ago, and I may need to replace it in another year or two. Probably replace the phone first. But that is a device that I keep in my pocket along with car keys, coins, and other sharp objects, and a device for which the screen is a primary interface. I've never put anything of the sort on any of my cameras, going back to my Optio 330, then *ist-D and on from there. I don't treat my cameras with kid gloves but still have never noticed any scratches etc. (other than nose grease). And if there were a scratch, I can't see how it would affect the functionality of the camera in any way. I just don't see why anyone would bother with the mess and possible damage to the camera.
