Are Light Modifiers Worth The Cost And Trouble?

Unless you are using studio lights I would say no, light modifiers are not worth the effort it takes to drag along on photo trips and I certainly would not waste my money on any of them.
Sure, the onboard flash of any camera is pretty pathetic and prone to producing red-eye.
Instead of making it worse by blocking light from the dinky flash you have, why not purchase a small, relatively inexpensive flash unit like the
Sunpack 383?
Add a Wein Hot Shoe Slave for a really sophisticated and versatile flash system.
Yes, the flash will add weight and cost to your photogear but you will also see a difference in quality. It's the difference between just snapping a picture and creating a picture.
With a bit of practice and creative thinking, a small flash can dramatically improve your photos.
