Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon HF-DC1 High Power Flash for Canon Powershot Digital Cameras
Customer Review: Canon wins again
Summary: 5 Stars
As is usual with any Canon product, this unit functions as intended and greatly extends the range of my A570 flash. I take a lot of indoor pictures of family gatherings and usually try to get a number of people in most shots. This requires photos from a distance and the flash on my camera was not quite up to the task. By using the HF-DC1 flash attachment, I now get crisp clear photos without shadows even up to 20 feet away.
I would highly recommend this flash attachment to anyone who's flash isn't quite strong enough to get the pictures they want.
Customer Review: Excellent!

Very nice add-on for any digital camera. You have to understand how it was intended to be used and use it properly, a SLAVE FLASH. If you do, it works great within its range. Basically, your own camera's flash is good for between 5' to say 12', 15'. So from my own little bit of experience, I'd say the 3 settings on this slave flash extend it between (min. = 15' to 25'), (med. = 25' to 35') and (max. = 35' to about 45') and actually a little beyond. You actualy can provide too much flash if you don't watch out!!!
Buy it, you won't regret it.

I received this item two days before our trip to Greece. It is the perfect companion to my Cannon SD600 camera. Both are small and fit easily into a pants or shirt pocket. I used it numerous times in churches and museums where flash was allowed. It did a great job. There's no need to use the mounting bracket unless using a tripod. Just hold it next to the flash side of the camera and it will fire when the camera flash fires. I also helped several of my travelling companions by holding it next to their Canon cameras so they could get a well-lit photo.Customer Review: no complaints

$100.....maybe a little steep, but worth every penny to get some memorable shots of your child in a lead role of her last high school musical. I have done it in the years pass without an remote flash with the pictures turning out dark and blurry. Using it my S2IS set on TV, I set the shutter speed at about 1/60 with the ISO at100, I was able to stand in the 3rd row seats which put me about 40'-50' from center of stage. After seeing the results I wish I would of bought this flash couple years ago. And do keep couple of the CR123A batteries on hand.Customer Review: Great addition for brighter group pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my Canon SD550 Powershot, which is a great camera but has limited coverage when using the built-in flash. We took group photos of the family this Christmas and they came out so much better, even on the Mid setting. In the past I would have to use the photo software on my PC to adjust the brightness which wasn't always satisfactory. The bracket for holding the unit to the camera is very handy. The unit is so small that I can carry it in my pocket; camera in one pocket, flash in the other. Very pleased with this unit so far.
