Good after a little work2009-03-25
I purchased this item for my DSC-W170 - it's nicely made. Initially it did not work properly - almost always fired with the pre-flashes due to a supersensitive sensor. Never failed to fire even with my finger over the sensor! I fixed it by cutting out small circles of masking tape (using three hole punch). Two of these stuck over the sensor and it works beautifully.
Not really much of a need2008-03-22
The flash works fine.. but it's rare that would need it.. I bought it mostly to help with the dark flare when using the Sony wide-angle lens in low lighting conditions indoors - The lens blocks part of the camera's flash. With practice I was able to eliminate the dark spot.
This unit responds to the flash reflection from your camera. So, your camera must flash for this slave flash to work. I've never needed more than the lowest setting on this unit because any higher will wash out the photo.
just a note: The enclosed bracket mounts to the threaded hole (tripod mount) on your camera, but the bracket also has a threaded hole for the tripod mount, so you won't lose the ablility to use your tripod when using this unit.
Works fine!2008-02-25
Purchased this flash to use with my DSC-W1 to fill in where the built-in flash was partially blocked by the telephoto lens. After playing with it for a few days it does a fine job. No problems with shadowing, flashes at all "normal" angles and positions from the built-in flash, and seems built well enough to hold up over time.
Sony Slave Flash Review2008-02-11
I have found this product to be everything that it was reported to be in the add. The delivery time was excellent. Product was received in less than four days.
Worked Great!...Until It Didn't2006-05-15
Purchased this Sony Slave Flash as an accessory to my Sony digital camera. Right before the warranty expired it quit working. Assuming it needed a new battery, I replaced it, only to have it quit again after a few light ups. By the time I realized the Slave Flash (and not the batteries) was at fault, the warranty had expired. I contacted Sony, explained that I had given their Slave Flash the benefit of the doubt by replacing batteries instead of contacting them, but they wouldn't help me a bit - no replacement and no repairs. In fact, they said it couldn't be repaired at all. I was advised to purchase a replacement Slave Flash. No thanks.
