I have one you can have... FREE. Just pay for the shipping. This is one of those little gadgets that gets touted from time to time in an article and everyone rushes out to get. Then, once obtained, never or rarely uses. At least that was the case for me and a few of my friends. I think it's a perpetual prank foisted on the the photography community to see who bites. Kind of like making your own suet. Yeah. I bit on that one, too. :lol:

I would take Garys offer and find out you wont use one on the cheap. I use my Grid option for my view finder, or the levels on my tripod.

That's the way I work it on my Oly. The HS-20 has a leveling feature.

My tripod head has one on it - seldom used or even noticed. Also the Canon 60D has one built in on the display (electronic) also seldom used. I see them for sale every time I search on ebay for anything with the words hot shoe in it.

I wouldn't mind having a bubble level, but I imagine it must get in the way, when you want to use the flash. Or do you just place the level on at first to level the camera, then you remove it?
