Editorial Review: Product Description: The new Vivitar DF 200 digital flash offers the power and versatility of a 35mm-type unit with an intelligent circuitry that learns from your own camera's flash characteristics. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Nice for a slave flashThis flash works nicely with my Sony DSC-P72 as a slave flash. The one limitation with all slave flashes is that they trigger off other cameras' flashes also. You can use the standy button to partially eliminate this, but if there are lots of other flashes going off, it can be a problem. Also, it would be nice if Vivitar had a 1/2 power setting, as the jump from full power to 1/4 power is too much for a digital camera to handle. You can put the flash on 1/4 power and double the ISO or halve the ... Read More Rating: - It works with canon powershot digital elphsPro: I like the fact that you can mount this one with the camera and then on to a tripod. I don't think others can do that. Cycles fast. Works well with the powershot s230 that I have when set to "2 flash" trigger. The training mode seems to work as well. Con: Does not have a working hotshoe contact - works only by seeing a flash. So don't expect to use it on a camera with a hotshoe. Cannot be triggered manually. I was hoping to trigger it manually during long shutters without using ... Read More Rating: - Greatly improves indoor flash pictures.If you're serious about getting good indoor flash pictures, then something like the DF200 is a must. Use it to *properly* light up subjects at medium to longer distances (something dinky built-in flashes don't have the power for) or use bounce flash at closer distances. I absolutely love how bounced flash evenly lights the people in my photos. You can also turn down the ISO setting, allowing for less grainy photos. The hold button is handy when there are other cameras around you ... Read More Rating: - It's a helpful addition to digital camerasThe built-in flash on digital cameras leaves a lot to be desired. Mostly it is skimpy and limited in use. By adding the Vivitar DF200 digital flash, your camera takes on added capabilities. The flash is surprisingly powerful and thus gives the camera a greater range. Red-eye is greatly reduced or eliminated and the ability use bounce-flash can enhance many photographs. The flash syncronizes with several digital cameras that I have tried and should syncronize with yours as well. The flash unit is not built ... Read More Rating: - Doesn't work on EOS 300D.As a previous reviewer noted the flash is definitely NOT compatible with the Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel). The Vivitar manual claims compatibility with all digital cameras with a built-in flash. The information in the manual is WRONG. No setting on the flash works and it does not 'learn' the flash of the EOS camera. The Vivitar flash will always fire before the built-in flash or an external 420EX and the result is always UNDEREXPOSURE. There is no way to overide anything to make the DF200 usuable ...
