Fixed my Flash!

By Shooting at Home

from Orange County, CA on 11/4/2008

Pros:

Durable, Easy to use, Lightweight

Best Uses:

Indoor Photography, Portraits

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When the party moves inside I slip on my Lightscoop. Indoor photography has always been a drag because of my camera's pop up flash. It makes my DSLR images no better than my point and shoot. Bad Flash is bad flash no matter how expensive the camera. The Lightscoop is perfect inside -- it uses the white ceiling to create FLATTERING light from my camera's built in pop-up flash unit. I have always hated the red eye and the shiny faces but this thing also fixes the harsh shadows and generally brightens the whole scene. EASY to use. Cheap GOOD fix to really ugly pop-up flash photography. Check out my Halloween pics. It's subtle but notice how the light is coming from above instead of shining in their faces like a scary flash light. Yuck!

Extremely Disappointed

By Sad Participant

from Dover, DE on 7/22/2008

Cons:

Does Not Work

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was very excited when Lightscoop.com announced that their product was compatible with the Olympus Evolt Line of DSLRs. I was quick to purchase the combo kit and could not wait to try it. I am very unpleased with this product. Images were darker and looked worse than with the harsh light from the pop up flash, even with all settings exactly like they recommend. I guess that my fault for taking a shortcut instead of getting a real flash unit.

Works like a charm

By Old Salt

from Houston, Texas on 5/13/2008

Pros:

Cheap works, Compact, Consistent Output, Durable, Easily Interchangeable, Easy To Clean, Lightweight, Quiet

Best Uses:

General Use, Portraits

Describe Yourself:

Getting started

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought a pair, one with a regular mirror and one with the gold mirror. Most of the time I use the standard version, but I love the portraits I've taken with the gold mirror. This was a much cheaper solution than buying a flash unit. Plus, I'm still learning to use the camera, and learning to use a flash AND spending yet more money was overwhelming. I'm so glad I found this gadget.
