Hey guys I searchbarred for threads like this but only found two looking for lcd viewfinders for 5D's.  What would you guys recommend for my D7000?  I googled it and looked for a bit online but wanted to know what works for you guys and what you'd recommend.  I remember reading a thread about this before and some of you recommended some stuff I never had heard of before but it looked pretty nice.

Well, your camera already has an LCD screen... do you mean an EVF (electric view finder) or an LCD loupe?

Yes an lcd loupe.  Just need something to cover the viewfinder so I can correctly expose and focus in bright conditions.  Would also like to be able to easily remove it and/or still us the viewfinder for photos if possible.

Get a cheap magnetic one for if you just wanna quickly adjust export sure and WB. Or if you wanna ball hard get a z finder. Both get the job done but the magnetic ones don't stay on the camera too well

Removable mount so you sell the camera body by itself. Adjustable focus. 3x Mag.
Quick on/off, comes with attachable lanyard.
Flip up magnifier to use just the standard LCD.

I have mine and I love it, totally worth it.

I use this on my 7D and it gets the job done well.

It fits all 3" screens, but I'm not sure the size on the D7000. They also have another version for the t2i and t3i because they have a different screen size.

How does the lcdvf attach?  Does it clip on and off the mount or is it magnetic?

You mount a thin magnetic frame around your LCD that is unnoticeable and unobtrusive when the LCDVF is off, and then the LCDVF just sticks to it whenever you want it on.
