5.0 out of 5 stars Very good if used with a good flash bracket., December 9, 2002

If you use the AS-E900 with a good flash bracket, like the Magic Bracket or Roll Bar, you are going to get great flash results with your Coolpix camera.

I agree that it would have been good if Nikon had made the cable a bit longer, but with a good bracket that has been designed for use with the AS-E900, you will get great results!

This setup will work on the Coolpix 950, 990, 995, and 4500.

I have rated the AS-E900 as 5 stars, since it is really the only way to connect an external flash to your Coolpix camera (models listed above), and if used with a good bracket (not the Nikon one) you should be very happy with it.

Other extras to look at (so you can use the flash off camera at a distance of up to 10 feet) are Nikon's...
AS-10,

AS-15

Hope this helps you to make your buying decision.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Need the Bracket, Too!, June 21, 2002

This review is from: Nikon AS-E900 External Multi-Flash Adapter (no bracket) for Nikon Coolpix 900, 990, 995 and 4500 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

The AS-E900 synch cord works well with my Coolpix 995. Unfortunately, it is very short and the sych terminal is awkwardly placed on the bottom of the 995. This means you must also buy the SK-E900 bracket for the camera. I found that I could not mount the camera on my favorite Stroboframe bracket with the synch cord attached. I've ended up just using a straight bracket and keeping both my hands on the camera and flash. Nikon should have thought this through. I love the camera except for this.

I bought this adapter to use with my Nikon Coolpix 995 and Stroboframe. I am extremely disappointed at the lack of foresight the manufacturers had. The cord is entirely too short; hence, I wasted [price]. This is a great disappointment.
