     Is it better than the lightsphere?  It looks much more convenient.

    It is for pop up flashes, so it looks like it would not be of much use for those who have an attachable flash... but might be great for those with pop-ups.  It only works with a limited number of cameras from what I read.

    Bing, thanks for the explanation... I figured it was something like the whaletail or the dome, but wasn't sure. He certainly has some funky names, doesn't he?

    A white cocktail napkin and rubber band work just as well. Have used them many times and joked about naming my system and selling it ala Gary.

     Amen! :)  Or, in my case, a Kleenex and hairband, the two things I never leave home without.  Well, besides my camera.

     I just got mine today.  I don't tote my flash around for day-to day use, but I hate how harsh the onboard flash is.  I figure I have paid more for a useless diffuser and this is cute, not obnoxious,  and works really well.

    I've used the napkin/elastic rig, but it bugs the bejeezuz out of me.
