4.0 out of 5 stars A Simple Flash That Adds Value to your Kodak Camera, July 4, 2006

I actually have a very nice flash for an older Nikon camera, but it wouldn't "talk" to my Kodak P850, so I purchased this flash. I have been very happy with the operation of the flash so far. It has more power than the camera's built-in flash, supports auotmatic zoom and power level. You also can change the settings manually. The only issue I have had with the flash is that it is lacking features. It works just fine as a simple flash, and works with the camera settings, but is missing some professional modes and features like a remote flash function. However, it does the job well for the price, and will work with your Kodak camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for one shoot, not for a hurry!, March 26, 2007

This flash is perfect for one shoot, just point and it will review all the settings in the kodak p880 camera and it make all the adjustment to take the perfect photo. The problem? it uses just 2 batteries and sometimes (depends on the light conditions) it take 10 or 15 sec. to be ready again. It can be no problem if you just take one picture, but if you have to take a "back up" picture to people waiting for your action, maybe is a big time problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great power for such a compact and lightweight swivel and zoom head flash, March 10, 2007

I am very impressed with this flash and the excellent way the camera controls it. Inside it zooms to match the lens-view, which is a very impressive feature. The exposure together with the flash is dead-on with my P880 which also lets me use the built-in flash for a little extra fill ! The recycle time is also great for a flash that only uses 2 batteries.

I believe it is based on the Sunpak PZ-40X series flash that is made for non-Kodak cameras. Compared to that and other manufactures flash pricing, the full mrsp is pretty decent and the current pricing is a great deal!

While this is not marketed as a professional equipment, it will enable you to create top-notch indoor flash photos. You may consider getting a Sto-fen Omnibounce for it that will enable you to diffuse the light a little bit for bounce situations.
