Cool... this type of magnifier is now commercially available... http://www.tallyns.com/digimagnifier.htm https://www.tallyns.com/secure/digifinderorder.htm
When I got my Fuji S1 back in 2000 or whenever it was... I was frustrated when I took the camera out in the daylight... I couldn't see the LCD screen. So I invented a little magnifier device that looks almost exactly like the "DIGIFINDER" in the link above. I've been using it all these years and it's a HUGE help. You need an >enclosed< loupe to block out the light. It's not a subsitute for viewing the images on the laptop... as there is no real detail viewable on the lo-res LCD... but it does make the LCD screen useful in daylight and it's also easier to judge composition and exposure when the image is magnified... so I use it often even when the ambient brightness isn't a problem.
