Regards non-slr cameras with LCD screens. I am thinking of buying a large and long bill'd baseball type hat and wearing my flip-up 7.00x close-up watchmaker type plastic lenses that clip on to my regular trifocals. I've tried the combo indoors and outdoors with a normal baseball cap on an overcast day, and they were great. In the sun the unrimmed plastic magnifiers may catch some light which may interfere. It would depend on the magnification of your flip-ups, but with my 1.25 drugstore 67mm readers and my 7.00x flip-ups, the LCD of my Pentax Q is in focus from ~ 6 inches to ~7.5 inches measuring from my eyebrow, and completely fills the immediate field of vision of the glasses. Bonus: You can read the letters and symbols on the back of the camera without holding it at arms length! And with my trifocal glasses, it's even better. Flip the added lenses up and they are completely out of the way as would be clip-on sunglasses. Tracking birds or critters in the wild you are still better off with a red dot scope at arms length because you can see around the camera to spot your target with your spare eye. No need to look at the LCD; find target, place the red dot on it (or usually just under or over it so it'd not be centered, giving you some room to crop.
