Nikon AS-E900 External Multi-Flash Adapter (no bracket) for Nikon Coolpix 900, 990, 995 and 4500 Digital Cameras

I was hoping at least one of the 3 extension ports would be a standard flash single pin extension. But no, they are all the Nikon 3 pin connector so all u can connect is another Nikon device with the 3 pins. The shoe is standard.

Olympus FL-36 Electronic Flash for SP series, C7070, E1, E300 & E500 Cameras

I chose this flash due to my budget. But have not been disappointed. It may have a slow cycle time. In my type of photography with light, controlled environment that has not been an issue. For macro photography of animals/insects it has not seen that much action lately. Waiting on light stand to try out some strobist style shooting with this flash.

Sony HVL-F36AM High-Power Digital Camera Flash for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

This does what it is supposed to do. Good Guide number, wireless capabilities, bouncing capabilities, High speed sync(even in wireless mode), manual zoom.

I am very happy with its performance. It gave me correct exposure with Sony A700 and A100. I prefer to use it in wireless bounce mode with camera in manual meter. This is a must for every Sony DSLR owners.

Olympus FL-20 Electronic Flash for SP series, C5000, C750, C770, C5060, C7070, C8080, E1, E300 & E500 Digital Cameras

I bought this flash originally to use with my Olympus C-700 UZ camera because I had found that when using the Olympus wide-angle converter lens on my camera, the diameter of the wide-angle lens was so large that it blocked off the beam from the cameras built in flash. Because of this every shot I took had a big black half circle shadow across the bottom of the frame.

To eliminate this problem and mount the light source as far away as possible from the lens I decided to buy the Olympus FL-20 Flash unit, the FL-BK01 right angle flash bracket, and the FLCB01 TTL sync cable to electrically connect the flash to the camera.

Once I started using this set up I immediately started getting the results I needed right away. The FL-20 flash had greater output and greater coverage than the built in flash. Exposures were perfect because the flash worked with the cameras TTL metering system via the FLCB01 cable. You can even stand a little further back from the subject when shooting because the higher light output of this unit gives you greater reach. Red eye was also eliminated because by using the flash grip I offset the axis of the flash beam away from the axis of the camera lens. The FL-20 even comes with a little snap on diffuser lens you can use to widen the area of coverage of the flash beam. It runs on 2 AA batteries. I used the flash with the rechargeable type AA batteries.

I was very happy I bought this unit and on my indoor picture taking sessions it became the standard fare for me as far as equipment was concerned. Down the road I did up grade to the more powerful FL-50 flash, but for most over your average family and friends type picture taking sessions the Olympus FL-20 is all the flash you will ever need.

Canon HF-DC1 High Power Flash for Canon Powershot Digital Cameras

The Cannon HF-DC1 is an excellent assistant to the digital camera flash. I was the photographer a a friends wedding and all of the pictures came out perfect. The added power of the HF-DC1 illuminated the reception hall perfectly, not over or under exposed. I recommend this product very much.

This flash has really improved my indoor photos. I have been using the built in flash on my Sony A100, but this high powered flash gives me more control of the lighting.

SUNPAK 035M 35mm Electronic Thyristor Auto Flash with 35-85mm Zoom

Unfortunately the photo on the page shows a shoe mount, but I overlooked the actual mounting type and purchased it. Since it was wrong I had to return it for a partial refund. I was purchasing this to replace a Sunpak flash I've had for years. It was an excellent product but gravity got the best of it one day.

Pentax AF 360 FGZ Flash for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras (w/ case)

If you've got a Pentax dSLR, this is the flash you're looking for. I really agonized whether to go with a cheaper flash to use off camera with an optical slave triggered by the on camera flash, or go ahead and get the 360, which would provide me with more options, especially when used on camera. I'm very glad I went with the Pentax. So glad I ended up buying a second one. It's a good all around flash, easy to use, and obviously great to use in conjunction with your Pentax dSLR. When you have two, you can use one on camera to trigger the other off camera. Or use both off camera triggered by the on camera flash (put the 360s in Slave 2 mode if you have the K100D). They have a built in optical slave so you don't need to buy anything extra. Used on camera, you also have the option of very high speed sync. Cool! My only nitpick is the battery door doesn't close as firmly as I'd like, so you have to check it from time to time to make sure it's shut all the way. A battery meter would have been nice too. Other than that, no real complaints. It's a good flash for the money. If you plan on using it off camera a lot ("Strobist" style) you might want to get a cheap off camera radio sync system, like the Cactus triggers. But you don't need that right off the bat. Play around with triggering it optically and see if that works for you.

Good luck, and happy shooting.

Sunpak Super 383 Flash

I have not used an external flash prior to this and I was wondering if I should go with one of the fully automatic modern flashes. But given the price differential the Sunpak was an easy choice.

It can be use in its automatic mode where parameters are set using the table like knobs on the back or it can be use fully manual by just adjusting the flash output level.

Use it to bounce off a ceiling or wall while on camera or get a radio trigger and get the freedom to place it where you want.

Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

This unit is the fullest featured strobe I've had for a camera. Powerful output will supply enough light for most enthusiasts and works nicely in combination with other flash units, even if they're not Nikon CLS compatible. I sync a 400WS studio monolight from the SB-800 as my camera does not have a PC Sync connector and this works seamlessly--even if I only want the monolight to fire. In true NIkon fashion, this flash will do everything for you or allow you to manually control everything down to 1/128th power. Also works very nicely with the Nikon SC-29 off camera cable which includes focusing lamps on the hot-shoe connector so that your camera can focus effectively in low light. I use the SC-29 to keep the flash off of the camera 99% of the time and it allows me to hold the SB-800 behind a diffusion screen with one hand while I shoot with the other--amazing effect for a small flash like this. Recharges quickly and uses power judiciously so that batteries last longer than in other flash units (through a combination of iTTL metering and zoom capability). You won't be disappointed with the SB-800.

Bower SFD35C Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Camera - Super Fire Power TTL Digital Flash

I ordered this flash from Ace Photo Digital in December and received it in January, noticing right off the bat that it fit the hotshoe rather loosely, the flash screen was not straight and also experienced some exposure problems. Still, it was better than the built-in flash so I hung on to it. After several months (and ONE battery change) one of the clips that hold the battery door closed snapped off. Note - I am VERY gentle with my equipment. I contacted Ace and didn't receive a reply for some time - when it came it was "contact Bower". I called, went on endless hold and when I finally reached a "customer service" rep he would not even provide the slightest information with me describing the flash using Ace's description (which pertains to exactly ONE of their products) - he would only talk to me if I had the part number printed on the unit (which was home at the time). On my second call, I didn't even get the part number out before the non-listening second rep tried to sell me a new battery door - WITHOUT a part number. I explained the door was fine, it was the body that was broken - to which he replied they only cover the electronic flash (which is not what the warranty says) and then accused me of breaking it by mishandling. I contacted Ace, and they refused to intervene, saying it's Bower's problem. I can only say I would never suggest buying a product from the seller based on the poor support I received, nor would I ever buy a Bower product, since in my opinion they just dodge warranties assuming buyers have no recourse. I apparently can't get mine fixed, but I hope no one else gets sucked into buying one of these things.

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

I wish I could tell you all of the neat features this flash has but the truth is, I don't understand them yet. What I can tell you is that I bought this flash to go along with my first SLR (the Rebel XSI) and it works really great. From a beginners perspective, it saves my camera battery and I definately get better coverage than the built-in flash. The reason I choose this particular model over the existing 430EX model is because there are some minor improvements such as recycle time and a metal foot but also because I read that some of the settings for this flash are [additionally] accessible via the camera's menu system. This probably isn't important to some of the pros out there but for me it's nice to know that I have the bases covered for when I grow in to the camera.

Lumiquest Soft Screen, a Diffusion Sheet for On-Camera Pop-up Flashes.

1) The tab is too big to get in my camera's hot shoe without folding and stuffing it in, or cutting it.
2) Apparently my camera (Cannon powershot pro) disables the built-in flash when something's in the hot shoe - using a pressure switch, so inserting this all the way disables my camera's flash
3) Results are mixed. I didn't get underexposures, but some times didn't seem like it did much diffusing.

Your mileage may vary, but for $10 it might be worth a try.

Digital Concepts Powerzoom 952AF/CAN Flash for Canon Cameras

I have the Canon Rebel XT, XTi, and XSi and have used this flash on all of them. It is very easy use...especially compared to the Speedlite 430 EX that I use on my XSi. I am a semi-professional photographer and an Art professor. I use this for my XT, when I'm at work, both on and off camera. It has a slave flash setting that works well, but I mostly use a wireless transmitter when it is off camera (on a stand with a reflective umbrella). It gives off great, consistent light. The ETTL function is wonderful, but mostly use the manual setting since I use it off the camera. You can change ISO, speed, and zoom very quickly in manual mode. It also regenerates quickly for the next shot. People that give this flash a negative review need to remember 2 things: 1. if you are shooting the flash strait at an object or person, you really need a diffuser besides the built-in one that comes with the flash. I like the inflatable diffuser that acts like a mini soft box. 2. If you are trying to lighten up objects BUT reduce their shadow, you need to bounce the light off of the wall or ceiling. If you are in a room with high ceilings (church, gym, auditorium, etc.), then you will either have to bounce it off a wall OR get your diffuser out and shoot directly at your objects. So in short, the built-in diffuser is junk (just like the one in the Canon 430 EX) so get a soft box diffuser for it and it will be just fine. Remember, practice makes perfect...so get some NiMH AA batteries and start practicing angles, zoom, and speed. Once you know how this flash works and its capabilities, you will be very happy that you purchased this flash.

Sunpak DS-20 5-Position Bounce-Tilt Shoe Mounted Flash with Wireless Auto Slave.

This is an inexpensive little slave flash that actually works. I have a Canon A570 and, like most small digicams, it has a fairly weak builtin flash. It couldn't illuminate properly more than 10 feet away and I also didn't like the glare on faces from below 7 or 8 feet. This is typical with direct builtin flash. When using this flash, I generally turn off the camera redeye preflash and set the camera to the manual Aperture setting with the aperture set to f4.5. I also set the flash control on the camera to the 2/3 setting. I set the Sunpak to slave mode. So, when the camera flash fires, the Sunpak also fires and I get much better photos, especially when I bounce the flash off a white ceiling. Much more natural and even lighting effect with a nice modelling effect on faces. One thing about this flash is that it comes with a stand, but not a bracket to use next to the camera. I had to buy that separately as using a the stand is not always convenient.

I was skeptical about this thing because it looks so... cheap. and it is, but it works GREAT. Now I don't like shooting in dark rooms, it's just not my thing, but when my family gathers it seems I'm always taking pictures in dark places and end up disliking the options of using the flash or slow shutter speeds ( not to mention annoying people with a bright flash) this has changed the quality of my family photos for the better, much better.It's so inexpensive that if you don't like it, well no great loss, but I haven't found anyone who doesn't like shooting with it.

QMS-D1 Wireless Digital Camera Flash Booster / Slave Review

A good photo accessory for serious photographers
The OMS-D1 flash booster / slave is good for photographers who want photos with better lighting. I use it as a secondary slave flash fill to remove any flash shadow your camera flash might leave. It gives you better photos of people if you place it to one side of your subject, so it will light the side of their face and cover the shadow behind them. Place it pointed in the same direction as the camera, but off to one side. It helps to use a white gym sock, cut- off four inches of the toe end and cover the flash booster with it. This reduces the light output and gives a more natural look to your photo. It produces a lot of light. This is a handy accessory to have to get better photos.
