Canon High Power Flash HF-DC1Strengths: Compact and lightweight. Weakness: Range has limitation. This is a neat complement to my Power Shot S80. With the built-in flash, the images are dark beyond 12 to 15-foot range. By attaching the HF-DC1 I am able to double the range of the flash zone. I highly recommend this attachment if you want to eliminate dark images when taking group pictures. 95% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Canon High Power Flash ReviewStrengths: compact size, strong flash, and camera attachment Weakness: None at this time HF-DC1 High Power Wireless Flash for Canon Powershot digital camera can be user for almost any camera where extra flash is needed. I was surprise for the size the power of the flash. With the easy attachable component I will use it for my other camera and my video camera that can take still pictures. I am please with the device. 95% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Canon HF-DC1 High Power Wireless Flash for Powershot
Strengths: Compact, lightweight, easy to hold when connected to the camera. Highly compatible with most Canon Powershots.
Weakness: Does not eliminate the shadow that the PowerShot wide angle lens creates. A little pricey at regular price.
I was able to buy this flash at a pretty good discount. As the retail price was $99. I don't really think it's worth that much but if you can get it at a discounted price it might be worth it. When I opened the box, it was pretty easy to setup in conjunction with my Powershot camera. It was just a couple screws and that's it. I was amazed at how much light this would shoot out in the dark. It would literally light up the entire room. Most of the pictures I took came out beautiful. Finally, there is a "manual" mode which only means that you have to press and hold the indicator button to enable the flash, this was to avoid having the slave trigger on someone else's flash if you are in a roomful of cameras. Overall, I would recommend this product if you can get it at a decent price.

Just a question. Do you get automatic exposure when you use the flash with a Canon camera (e.g. the A620) the same as with the built-in flash, or do you need to use manual exposure?
If the exposure is auto, how is the flash coupled to camera aperture? Thanks.

The only reason that I was going to buy this flash was to eliminate the shadow from my wide angle lens with the onboard flash (Canon S3). I was really disappointed to hear that the
shadow still exists with this device. Shame on Canon for not providing a flash that eliminates shadow.
