Bounce card vs deffuser

[Bukitimah]

Hi, there are various bounce cards and deffusers for external flash gun in the market. Do they all produce the same result or you should select them correctly? What would you guys recommend for macro?

No they all don't, and can't give the same result. Think about it for a minute or two.

Hot shoe and flash diffusers for the pop up flash basically just scatter and waste light. Bounce cards are easy-peezy DIY projects that can be made for pennies.

The best approach is to gain a good understanding of photographic lighting fundamentals, so you can make informed gear and accessory decisions.
