external flash for the Fujifilm Finepix S100fs? Have any of you gotten one?

Vivitar 285 HV, on the yellow setting. No thinking required, the flash will read the amount of light needed and give perfect results. Use P or A modes for the widest variety of situations.

This flash did not work with the external power pack, if my other canon flashes

Dear Sheila S.YES and YES.You may confirm it almost at the bottom of: http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/digital_cameras/f/finepix_f900exr/specifications/I do not use it as I prefer to remove the sd card and download photos via multicard reader -> USB.Great little super-camera for my needs.

I do have a choice and I own them both. I take them both on field trips. The S100FS is faster in getting action shots, but the HS30EXR allows me to get closer to my subject. I usually shoot from a tripod using a cable release.

What compact flash card did you use? Will the camera take advantage of the high speed in the newer CF cards?

I looked up your camera. I don't think it has a hot shoe mount for an external flash. If it does (is there a "flap" that hides it?), then you can put this on it. Even if it doesn't, this flash has a slave function that lets you fire it off when you fire off your built-in flash. So you could still get really flash results just using this flash in slave mode.

I just got the flash yesterday and tried it on several FZ1000 programmed exposure settings. It works perfectly. The flash tube even zooms in and out in response to the lens zoom position. I tried it as a direct flash and bounce flash and it works beautifully. It works as well as do my Canon flashes on my Canon SLR cameras.

Sorry I don't have a Fujifilm SL1000. But Fujifilm often lists which of their cameras are computable with their Flash units. See if you can find the answer online at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/accessories/flash/Good luckRichard Curtis PhotographyBaltimore, Maryland - Washington, DC, region.

This Fuji S700 camera uses only the pop up flash for indoor photos. If you need more light or you are trying to light a larger area find a digital camera with a hot shoe/flash synch terminal. The Olympus C4000 has the capability to synch with an external flash source if you purchase the optional small synch adapter cable. I use my Olympus for eBay photos with external strobes and it works great! You can use the S700's flash to trigger external strobe units too, but red eye can be a problem with this camera so you would have to experiment around. Good luck! The Fuji offers one primary feature - the super zoom lens (10X) and is designed to attract the perceived (by Fuji) wave of consumers. It is deficient in other areas, but everything in life (and photography) is a trade off. Fuji makes other cameras that take much better quality images,but at a greater price. You might call the S700 a "Christmas" special.....Again the primary sales feature of this camera is the zoom (not picture quality)! I would suggest you buy it from Amazon and try it out..... Good luck, Jim

Can't give specific response about this camera. Can only offer my own reaction vs. built-in flash on RX-100-2...camera flash worked better than HVLF20M, so returned the external unit. Of course, your experience may vary...

I just noticed that there is a 1.1 version of the firmware available for the S8100 on Nikon's site. I have seen enough low-light video examples of the S8100 to realize that the AF problem is a real problem and extremely annoying. It essentially renders the video useless, and until I can confirm whether or not the firmware fixes this problem, I will not purchase this camera.All the reviews of this camera that are negative complain about the video. So it's definitely a consistent issue.

I have not had any problems with my flash or camera I have the S3 if that has baring on your decision - I have noticed a slight decline in length of charge but still well worth the money and I'm still very happy with the battery!!

I have a NX100, and it doesn't include flash. However, I've used three different types of flash units on it, Bower, TTL and Autos, and everything works really well. In low light situations, you can go down to as low as 1/5 shutter speed with ambient light, and it still looks great. The flash unit itself is very affordable.

Hi Seb, the flash comes as a supplied accessory in the box with the camera. Thanks_Mitch

I had an old FinePix 2650 that worked as a webcam. The drivers provided by fuji for that feature however were incredibly unstable, and caused my computer to bluescreen about half the time I turned the camera on. That could be why the newer models such as the S700 which I now own do not come with that feature.
