Does anyone know of any universal eyecup replacements/add-ons that would work with the Canon S2? I'm having trouble seeing the screen in bright sunlight, and I think a better eyecup might help block out more light.
I got two of these generics a couple of years back. Kinda like "one size fits all". Use them on C2100UZ and S2. Stretch fit. Easy on - easy off. Will have to open LCD beforehand or leave closed, and/or remove eyecup before closing LCD.
Believe you can find them on eBay searching for "eyecups".
If you don't want to pay the $14 which many on eBay are going for, go here, $3.99 - same eyeguard:

I found this place while searching and ordered a few, two for a smail pair of binoculars (fit very well) and one for the camera's viewfinder.

It fits fairly well on the viewfinder and definitelly makes a difference. It is much better when I don't use my glasses (prescription), but even with the glasses on there is a difference. This is substantially cheaper than the above when adding shipping, though not as substantial physically.
Hope this helps as well.
Thanks,
