Trash
What a terrible piece of equipment! First, it you have to VELCRO it to your camera, putting adhesive goo on your hotshoe. If you try tilting your camera, it falls off because of the poor fit. It is just a pain to use- make one yourself and save some grief and money.

Product is cheap... glad the price is too.
I had high hopes for this item, too bad it didn't live up to them. I got it for my Canon Rebel XT so that a student of mine could try it - but the camera won't even fire the pop-up flash when the sheet is attached to the hot shoe(this is not an issue with that camera and other products), and the little tab that is supposed to attach to the hot shoe doesn't fit quite right - it's too big, and I assume was pushing down on the sensors. After reading reviews decided to trim it to make it fit better and then the flash would fire, but the little plastic tab wouldn't stay snugly in the hot shoe anymore unless I held it there. I also tried it on my 40D and had the very same problem.
Also, I could tell right away when I put it on both cameras that the sheet does not hold itself far enough away from the flash, so even if I could get it to work right, I doubt it would diffuse much.
Maybe this is designed for other types of cameras, but it would be nice to have that info in the item description.
In my case, I'm glad it was only a couple dollars to try this out, I won't be recommending it anytime soon.

Works Great!
I was skeptical about this thing because it looks so... cheap. and it is, but it works GREAT. Now I don't like shooting in dark rooms, it's just not my thing, but when my family gathers it seems I'm always taking pictures in dark places and end up disliking the options of using the flash or slow shutter speeds ( not to mention annoying people with a bright flash) this has changed the quality of my family photos for the better, much better.
It's so inexpensive that if you don't like it, well no great loss, but I haven't found anyone who doesn't like shooting with it.

Does what it says for Canon XTi.
This product does as advertised, diffuses and softens the pop up flash built in to prosumer grade DSLRs. It is not a replacement for a full flash system, and does not turn the pop up flash into something else, but does make it a bit more useable than without it. Yes, it does reduce some of the flash's range and brightness, but if you're using a pop up flash, you're not getting a lot of range and brightness in the first place.
For what it does, it works, and anytime I use my pop up flash, I use this diffuser.

Not good for all DSLRs
I bought this item as it came recommended in a book. I was thrilled to get it as it says it's compatible with all DSLRs. It seems as it might be more geared for Nikons and Canons -particularly when Canon is specifically mentioned in the small insert that are the instructions. I could not get it to work with the Alpha 200 as the manuafacturer suggested trimming to get it to fit. While they did respond to my inquiry, the instructions were very vague and I never got it to work. Very disappointed, but it may be a nice option for a Canon or a Nikon, which are two of the most popular cameras.
