Same experience as the other review -- flimsy plastic mount broke the first time I tried to put it on a D200
 Nifty Product January 25, 2008

I really love this product. It tames the power of the the built-in flash of the Nikon D40 and gives a smooth even light that renders good skin tones and crisp colors that are not washed out. While at first it is a bit hard to insert the the diffuser part on to the piece that attaches to the hotshoe mount, it won't break if you are gentle with it. I didn't just push the pieces together at first. I slowly pushed and rotated one black peg in at a time to expand the holes on the diffuser part. Then I slowly worked both in at the same time.
Perfect results for the price April 29, 2008

I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews about how flimsy the mounting bracket was but I decided to go ahead and try it. The only other option was the Lumiquest-Soft Screen and I didn't feel like putting velcro on my Canon 30D. I've had no problems with the bracket and for the price, I think that the construction is strong enough.
The comparison with portraits is amazing. Not only are the shadows softer, but the colors are more saturated and intense...more like an existing light photo. My four favorite nude practice models, our dogs, have little or no red-eye.
One change I did make, was with flash compensation when using the pop-up as fill flash. I usually dial the flash exposure down about one stop. I don't do that when I use the puffer. You also lose a few feet of range on the flash so if your subject is at the outer limit of what your flash will illuminate, you'd better remove the puffer or move closer to the subject.

The puffer does not work with the Sony A700 - Called customer service from the Gary Fong website and they stated that it was a mistake on the prodcut description.

If you've read the reviews that discuss broken or damaged devices, there's a reason for that: This little gadget is made of the lowest quality materials that could possibly be used and still have some sort of functionality.
If you get one of these, and I do recommend getting one (or 2), be very, very gentle assembling and, most importantly, mounting the device. Once on your camera, I use it on a XSi/450, it works very well. Some quick advice if you get one. 1, be gentle putting it on your camera - this may sound redundant but you'll understand. 2, increase your flash compensation to +1 stop and experiment / test from there.
Most Important: The results using the "Puffer" are surprisingly good. I've used it at a couple of family gatherings with great effect. The images, both indoor and outdoor fill light, are much, much better than without.
