Canon 580EX II Speedlite Flash + 8 Batteries & Charger + Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce Diffuser + Precision Design E-TTL Flash Cord + Stroboframe 350 Flash Bracket for Canon Rebel XS, XSi, XT, XTi, EOS 1D, 5D, 20D, 30D & 40D EOS Digital SLR Cameras


No complaints about the flash, the flash bracket or cord. The rechargable batteries that were sent were not the best and we had a difficult time getting them to charge.

SeaLife SL968 Digital Flash Diffuser


The Sealife SL968 Digital Flash Diffuser works better if used with the Sea-life cameras, which are basicly a sony digital camera. Does not work that well with a camera housing other than a sea-life camera. Highly recommended.

VANGUARD VGA-0203CF Compact Flash Memory Card Holder


I just ordered this item and neglected to double check the shipping. It seemed like a pretty good price at $5.95, but the shipping and handling turned out to be $6.68. I will go to a bricks and mortar store before I pay that.
Ordered canceled.

Adorama DRF-14 Macro Ring Flash Dedicated for Canon eTTL2 Digital Cameras


I do not own this product, but rented it along with the Canon 100mm Macro for the weekend. The business had just purchased the flashes and had not yet put them into use. Their main reason for purchasing them was price.

I mounted the lens to a Canon 30D and mounted the flash. The flash mounts to the lens easily and is up and running quickly. I then headed out to the yard to give a try. I have done very little macro photography, so this was a learning experience all around.

To cut to the chase, I was pleased with the both the lens and the flash. The light from the flash was even and balanced. I shot mostly in manual at f11 or higher. Recycle times are bit slow, but the flash worked well. I can't attest to its durability, but I can attest to the quality of products I purchase from Adorama and have always been pleased.

I gave it four stars so as not to leave the impression that it is of the caliber of the full featured Canon flash. I don't think it was designed to compete with that flash, but was created to fill a niche for those of us without deep pockets. Don't buy this flash for critical professional work, but for day-to-day shooting I believe most users will be very pleased.

Sony HVL-HFL1 Combination Video Light & Flash for Camcorders


I had to get this after I bought a wide-angle lens for my SR11. The lens covered the flash on the camcorder. The wide-angle combined with this external flash/light captures amazingly beautiful picture. The light is good for recording subjects within 3ft-6ft, but I rarely use it because it's really bright and annoys the person I'm recording.
