 Not so good on Nikon D80 August 2, 2007

Looking at the reviews some love this and some find it so-so. I think the real difference in experience depends on your camera.
The Nikon D80 built-in flash juts forward more than the flash on the camera shown. The result is that the flash is pushed right up against the diffuser screen. If the screen was further from the flash, I am sure it would work better.
As it is, this does not really work well for my Nikon D80.
However, for my older 35mm SLR, a Nikon N70, this works well because there is sufficient distance between the flash and the screen.
Bottom line: If you have a Nikon D80, this will not help much.
 What a very disappointing product August 1, 2007

I'm glad that I didn't spend much on this diffuser for my built-in flash for my D80. This product not only diffused the flash, but also eliminated its effectiveness overall. Rather than getting some sort've soft light effect with this diffuser, I ended up getting underexposed shots (even with the flash strength boosted up to 1.0+). Thanks to the mediocre results I got from this product, I managed to just stick with my SB-400 in conjunction with an omnibounce diffuser. The pictures advertising this product look better than the product that you actually get. What you get is a plasticky/flimsy piece of material with velcro stickers to help attach it to your camera. Very disappointing indeed.
 A MUST HAVE!!! February 8, 2007

What a great product. I purchase this item before I went on a weekend trip to visit a friend and the pictures came out perfect. If you have a slr camera and you can control the flash output, this is a must have. I was gonna buy an external flash for my olympus E-500, but after purchasing this item I've changed my mind. I only wanted the external flash to bounce the light off the ceiling to have a more natural look. I really didn't need the zoom feature of the flash gun. I just wanted pleasing light for the typical family picture. I must say, after experimenting with this diffuser, I no longer need the speedlight. All my indoor photos are come out great. Check out my group picture. I had my camera set to Shutter priority mode: 1/20 sec, F.No. 3.6, Flash: 2nd curtain slow sync, flash exp: + 2.0 at ISO 100. My lens was set at 16.0 mm from about ten feet away. I increase the flash exposure to try to illuminate as much of the scene as I could. I think it came out good, almost like I bounced the flash off of the ceiling. I use the slow snyc 2nd curtain so i could capture the light coming off of the lamp. Please comment if this helped your decision. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
One of the best values in photography August 26, 2006

After having tested this out I am simply amazed at the image quality--I used to *hate* using flash but with this I am eager to start using it again. The fact that it was $11 makes it that much better.
I had to trim the matchboard slightly as to not trigger the hotshoe switch in my canon 300d, as a result it's far more easier to slide in and out. I find the velcro fit works better than trying to loop it over the nameplate.
t's a terrible waste of your bult in flash to not have this always ready.
Good little product which works well, but May 14, 2006

it is not designed for Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D/7D DSLRs, which have a non-standard hot-shoe. You'll have to find your own way to attach that one end to the camera.
Works well on Olympus DSLRs.
