2. Gary Fong Delta 4 Point & Shoot Flash Diffuser

Point-and-shoot digital cameras have this tiny flash that looks like a mini flashlight when you take photos of your friends. This harsh lighting makes everybody's face look shiny and oily. So, what Gary Fong has done is invented a flat filter wedge that mounts on the telescopic lens of many point and shoot cameras. The diffuser has mini pyramids to further disperse the light. When the light hits the rear of the panel, the tiny pyramids send light all over the place, lighting up the entire wedge, and lighting the ceiling, and the entire room!
