Self-adhesive Velcro, one part on the back surface of the camera , one part on the hood.
Thanks awty, makes easy sense. wiltw thanks, but my cameras don't have big back surfaces.
It does not take much area! I just took my old Canon 40D, and my 6x magnifier with lens removed (IOW not even intended originally for use as a hood!), and married the two with narrow strips of Velcro
proof that the idea works!

That is too bad - I was given an NX500 that I'm looking to re-purpose for film digitization, so I would have been mildly interested in seeing the line revived.
I do find it funny though how difficult it can be telling apart real camera announcement's and April Fools camera announcements. In the digital camera world, the availability of extra jargon makes it even harder to differentiate the two.
One of my DSLR's is spectacularly good EXCEPT that it has no viewfinder. It's wonderful in any kind of moderate/low light but glare on the screen makes it hard (almost impossible) to use well in very bright desert-style light (probably same in snow).
Soo..... my Hoodloupe (hood+loupe) is a nearly perfect solution except that it doesn't mount/attach on camera. Hoodman does make kit for that purpose but it's bulky.
What I'm after is a DIY solution....something that mounts on the Hoodloupe (not on the camera) and positions it immediately for use.... perhaps a lucite or even wooden thing that would bolt onto the Hoodloupe and guide it perfectly to the screen without having to fiddle around.
Any ideas? Have you cobbled-up your own DIY solution?
This might be especially useful for Samsung orphans since we have very good 26MP APS cameras but are now orphans.
