I shoot with a Canon 60d. When looking through the view finder I get breath fog and smudges on the LCD monitor which makes seeing the finished shot somewhat difficult.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried a chemically treated anti--fog cloth like those used for glasses? If you have an old camera it might be better to test it out before using it on the good one!

Yes I have had that problem! Try using a thin slice of cucumber over the surface, wipe of excess gently, leaving a smear on the surface. Also excellent for mirrors, cleaning leather shoes etc.

WOW Who would have known that. An old home remedy. I'll try it.

Well...I can answer this one...I have the same issue.

I have to cram my eye into the viewfinder so that I see 100% of it or I miss everything...I don't see how people just put their eye "sort of close" because I can't see the edges of the viewfinder frame when i do that.

So..the answer is "really" close lol...(I have to actually turn my head a bit to the side to get my nose out of the way.)

If you don't already have 1 get a clear LCD cover , it protects the actual screen from scratchs etc and is replaceable if it does become scratched or cracked. They sell anti fog solutions, but i've not seen no nose smuge things.

And not bad in a salmon sarnie. Wet wipes maybe?
