Bought this flash and grip for my fuji s7000. could'nt find one that was specific to this camera but tried this anyway. Results were very very good - night and day difference from using built in flash and set up was very straight forward. Plus side I did'nt have to worry about other flashes having voltage issues or needing adapters. Flash is very quick to be on the ready status - still playing with it to see how long battery lasts but otherwiswe excelent purchase. Took a while to get here but the wait was worth it.

This slave flash is a good product by itself. However, when you are taking pictures with other photographer, their flashes would trigger your slave flash. Therefore, your slave flash may not have enough time to recharge before you take a picture. The way to solve it is that turn off the sensor just before and after you take the pic.

Well worth the $60.00 Good value for the money! A must if you use a fisheye or telephoto at night.

I agree with another comment that the button on the side of the handle is to easy to accidentally press and change the mode unknowingly. When using with the Canon PowerShot S3 IS, I found it doesn't work with the manual settings I prefer. You have to still use the pop-up flash to trigger the slave. Maybe a diffuser to eliminate the effects of the pop-up will impove the results.

While it does what it said it would do, in order to do what I want to do, I need to upgrade my whole system. If I want to be professional, I need a professional system. This is okay for now while I'm getting my studio business back up and running.

I highly recommend d/t the terrific customer service from Cameta. Rich patiently and effectively guided me through setting up my flash. I haven't had an opportunity to use the flash so this review is based on the service I received.

Unlike the Canon HF-DC1 external flash, the Cameta flash has a rotatable head, so you can use it for bounce flash. It also has 5 delay options compared to the Canon's single delay setting. Add to that the fact that it costs substantially less than the Canon flash, so all in all, it's a no-brainer.

This was an excellent transaction. Item received exactly as ordered with speedy shipping. I would deal with this company again.

I admit it: I made the fool with this item, pure garbage. It is the worst item I ever purchased in the net.
