It was in the "Canon News, Nikon News, and What's New" box on the home page.

That is good to know... because it is handy for those of us that are off half a bubble.

Wind would be a problem, and I would think the cap would cover up the exposure setting view on the LCD. I use my hat for long exposures, but for metering I just put my thumb over it until I set the exposure and then let go. Exposure metering is fairly useless without covering the eye piece.

Thanks for the information.
