Lens hood for Canon G-3?

I've used a lens hood whenever possible on cameras I've used over the years. One
camera I use sometimes is a Canon G-3. I don't see a hood available for it from
Canon. Does anyone know of an aftermarket unit?

Might want to check out LensMate:

They make a quality aluminum filter mount in both 58mm & 52mm. The 52mm
seems like the better choice unless you intend to used Canon 58mm wide angle
or telepoto add on lenses. With either adapter you can them add a quality
protective filter if you believe in their use or just mount a threaded lens
hood of your choice. Many types of lens hoods are available including rigid
aluminum, plastic or extendable rubber hoods.

Note that a lens hood will block the built-in flash coverage & some of
the image through the viewfinder so use of the LCD will most likely be
required. This filter adapter tube also provided considerable protection
for the protruding lens as well.

I have a Canon G2 & I always keep a 52mm LensMate filter mount & a HOYA
HMC UV filter on it at all times for lens protection & to keep dust & etc.
out. Yes this makes the camera more bulky but I find it to be a good trade
off.

This is just an option for you to consider, the choice is yours.

Thank you very much for the link. They have a great site and a variety of
products that can be directly compared.

It's exactly what I was looking for.

Some scenes I encounter require a hood and I can live without part of the
viewfinder in those situations.

Thanks!
