Used this product at a wedding shoot. Couldn't afford to buy an external flash at this time. Found this product to be a very satisfactory substitution, not to mention a super affordable price. As the product explanation stated, it, indeed, does soften the harsh lighting created by the camera flash if used within 6 feet or less of subject. Found it very useful when used during "posed" shots of subject/subjects. When taking candid shots at various distances, it just took too much time mounting it and removing it as the shot distances required. However, if used as manufacturer suggests, I was very pleased with the results. Great product.

I have a Canon 40D and the LumiQuest was kind of clunky to mount on the camera's pop-up flash. The tab that is supposed to slip easily into the flash shoe is instead a bit of a struggle. The instructions aren't encouraging, saying if it doesn't mount correctly due to the manufacturer changing the shape of the camera from model to model, stick some velcro on the front of the camera. I don't want velcro on the camera for something I only use occasionally. That said, the LumiQuest did two things. It eliminated the hot spot, so there was no central overly bright area--a better photo. But it also made for far truer colors-something I hadn't expected. I photographed magazines lying on a tan bedsheet. Without the LumiQuest, the sheet was white, and not just in the hotspot created by the flash, but all over. I couldn't see any warming tone in the plastic diffuser of the LumiQuest, but colors were definitely better. The instructions do warn that the LumiQuest will require you to be five to six feet from the subject for best results.

Love using my new soft screen diffuser. When I don't want to carry my Nikon flash unit, I can use my on camera flash and use this product to diffuse the light. A great asset.

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
I bought this diffuser to have on my second camera while shooting weddings. (I only have one strobe unit) This unit makes the light so much better from the on-camera flash. My on-camera flash was always set at 2 stops down before I bought this toy, now I can use the flash at full power and the diffuser takes care of the hard edges that you usually see with a naked flash. Bottom line: If you must use the on-camera flash, get one of these! They are cheap, light, easy and quick to install and fit in any gearbag

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
Given the price of the product, I would say that diffuser does its job decently well. Granted, it won't provide softbox quality lighting, but hey, it's cheap. For the price, the product works well. It eliminates much of the flat, unappealing, harsh light from the pop-up flash.

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
It doesn't work lighting miracles, and can be slightly awkward to use, but it makes a nearly useless pop-up flash somewhat manageable. We don't have much equipment and generally need to work with just the available light, which sometimes requires using the built-in flash. It's not a drastic difference, but the diffuser screen does cut down the glare and harsh shadows a little bit. And it's certainly more sturdy and better-looking than the one I made out of paper. At just a few dollars, definitely worth the investment for me.
(I did have to cut it a bit to fit my Canon EOS Rebel T2i, but the process was included in the instructions.)

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
Not impressed with product. Yes, it does reduce the awful flash shadow that occurs without it. However, the coloring & lighting of the main subject I think is affected adversely--it renders the subjects with a dull and uninteresting lighting finish. I do not think I will be using this at all.

I bought this for using with my Canon T2i during my sister's wedding. It was an outdoor wedding in the evening, so I knew at some point I was going to have to use my built-in flash despite using a 50mm f/1.8 lens. When that time came, this diffuser definitely helped to keep my flash from blowing out my pictures! Definitely no alternative to an external swivel flash, but for [$] it was a great investment.

This inexpensive accessory does exactly what it claims. It really helps soften the harshness of the built-in Flash on my Nikon D3100. I can't afford to purchase a strobe (yet!), and this screen looked like a good alternative. I'm happy to say it's definitely worth the price, and allow me to do some photo exploration in areas I was previously hesitant to try, because the raw built-in flash is typically too harsh.

How useful! I have both a bounce flash and this diffuser. If you don't want to carry around your extra flash, this works just nicely. I take studio photos of handmade jewelry and the soft light it creates works nicely with the on-camera flash.

If you are buying this product expecting it to turn your pop up flash into a professional flash system then just forget it. It does help to difuse the harhness of the light but it does not make a huge differene. For the price it does a good job.

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
It seems to diffuse the light a little bit, so it's worth it to have when stuck with on-camera flash. However, I'd definitely recommend splurging on a good shoe-mount flash instead.

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
For the price, it does a good job of diffusing my pop-up flash. It kept making my Canon think there was a flash attached to the shoe, disabling the flash, so I followed the instructions and removed a small portion of the plastic flap you insert into the shoe. The problem is its already flimsy to start, and now it flops around a lot more and is much harder to feed into the shoe. Not too big of a problem. The results are good though, definitely better than a direct flash, but not as good as using a speedlite. If I were to buy again, I'd probably go with the Gary Fong or Sto-Fen though.

The item softens the flash light by diffusing it over a larger area. It fits the camera OK, but is fragile requiring care to keep it in place.

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
1. My flash wouldn't fire with this thing on (Canon 40D).2. The fit on the hot shoe was very poor. Item was too wide for the hot shoe.3. Finally figured out why the flash wouldn't fire due to the "Attention Canon owners" at the bottom of the very brief instructions. But that didn't help. So I did a web search and eventually came up with another 40D user who claimed victory by pulling the item out of the hot shoe a bit. Didn't help me, as the flash would not fire. I finally figured out I could set the item above the hot shoe and it would stay in place (well enough) though not very secure. Flash now fires.4. What matters - The big test. Just ridiculous! The item gets one star for improving the color (just don't set WB to flash with this on there). But that is it. The "diffusion" is so miniscule that it is not worth waiting for to get shipped[...]. To say nothing of the giant square on your camera all to get the effect of a sticky kleenex on your flash.

Comments about LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser for Camera with Pop-Up Flash:
This thing slips over your pop up flash on your dslr and diffuses its harsh light effectively and cheaply. Still one wishes it had an even more ingenious design: as is, it's a bit floppy and inefficient (it looks a lot bigger than one senses it needs to be) and generally inelegant. It works, though, which is the main thing, and for this price it might not be reasonable to say: couldn't you be better? But we do.
