Canon HF-DC1 High Power Flash for Canon Powershot Digital Cameras

I have had already this flash and give it away to my niece who loves photography. Since then, my flash shots were sort of 'anemic' on brightness; that is why I bought it again for my SD40 Elph camera. Nice product.....

Canon HF-DC1 High Power Flash for Canon Powershot Digital Cameras Auxilary Flash for Canon A650is Digital Camera; comact and operated by a single battery. For taking intermediate distance flash including group photos and for use with telephoto and wide angle lenses whose sizes interfere with the standard flash. Includes a mounting bracket that places the flash side by side with the camera or it can be hand held and operated manually. Has a postive "off" position to avoid accidental discharge and three flash settings to conserve battery power. Durable draw string storage bag with pocket for bracket to prevent scratching.

What a difference this flash has made in my inside house photos. As a realtor, the house photos are so very important as the first step to finding a buyer for a home since 87% start their search on the internet and will only view homes with photos, so they better be good!!!

This product was everything I was told it would be. It was shipped when I was told it would be and it showed up at my door when I was told it would be here. I am very happy with this flash unit.

I am using this flash with a Canon SD870 IS, which has a very weak built-in flash. It is incredibly light weight and comes in a nice bag, which is important given that I bought the camera to keep in my purse. The three flash levels come in very handy, although I've had to retake photos that were too light or two dark because I set the wrong level. Practice will resolve most of that. It's wonderful to be able to hold the flash in my hand and direct it where I want the added light. The only downside is increased red-eye, but the SD870 is weak in that department to begin with, so it's likely more a function of the camera than the slave flash.
