Does anyone make a diffuser for the pop-up flash on a 20d (or any camera)??

I have a 420ex but when I want to travel light, like when I go to someones house for a party or something I hate worrying about my equipment. It would be nice to bring just my camera, kit lens, and some little diffuser for the pop-up flash.

I wouldnt use stock flash ever, but if you insist I have seen this shield type thing used before, it looked kinda weird. I can't find the one that i've seen in person online but I did find this weird thing

My suggestion would be to try google and search for "onboard flash diffuser for canon 20d" or some variation of those keywords.



Hopefully someone knows more than me on this topic.

They have them at B&H, but I don't remember the brand or product name. Give B&H a call, and describe what you want. They're awesome like that.

What if you like, taped paper over it. Would that work? ;x

I guess paper or milk bottle will work but those flashes can get hot

I wonder what's the risk of something melting due to heat...

popup flash? none.
external flash - easy.
