Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This flash works great with my Canon 1sx IS. Even though the camera is not a full SLR the flash works in full automatic mode off the hot shoe. It also has manual controls (pick from 6 preset distances) for use in manual mode. It has a diffuser and bounce backboard that slide in the casing. The stofen diffuser is a nice extra. The flash is half the price of the comparable canon. The batteries and charger do the job but the charger takes too long. I like the energizer charger I find at CVS that fully charges the batteries in 3-4 hours as opposed to 10+ with this kits charger.

(More customer reviews)I used the cable 2 times before it stopped firing the flash. That's when I noticed it's cord had popped out of the hotshoe. There was a white wire just hanging there. I hadn't pulled it. It was ON the bracket provided in this kit. I can't express my disappointment as I am leaving Monday (it is Saturday night)for a photo shoot in North Carolina. Now, I have to hustle and try to FIND an Olympus cable on a late Saturday, or during Sunday?! Hah. That's more money (pending I FIND one) I have to spend. Crap.

(More customer reviews)I purchased this flash after reading the reviews here instead of the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash. I am using it on a Canon EOS XS (1000D) DSLR camera and I am extremely pleased with the Vivitar flash, particularly since it cost about half of what the Speedlite cost. It produces excellent lighting for very well exposed pictures in dark settings. I was worried about how well it would function with the Canon for automatic exposure settings, but it works absolutely flawlessly and exposure is automatically calculated and executed perfectly. The built-in diffuser is excellent and the angles that the flash can lock at are perfect. What really impressed me and blew me away was when I used the flash while hand-holding the camera to capture an image of my daughter singing in a choir in a not-too-well-lit church from about 100 feet away using my 300mm zoom lens (NOT the IS lens; just the 70-300mm zoom kit lens that comes with the Canon EOS XS camera kit)--just blew me away when that image came out looking wonderfully well-lit and sharp!
The only complaint I have about the flash is that it sticks out just a bit too far in back which means it is a bit harder to put your eye up to the view finder at a comfortable angle--that is, the flash hits my forehead when I press my eye up to the eyepiece. That's my only complaint, though, and not one that prevents me from using the camera or the flash effectively, it's just not as comfortable as it could be.
Highly recommend this flash!

Sanyo eneloop GES-HR3UTG-4BP - Battery 4 x AA NiMH 2000 mAh Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The biggest drawback for Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is the shelf life. I got gadgets and toys all around the house, so I constantly charging batteries to have them ready when I need them. There will be very little juice left if you put them in the shelf unused for a couple of months. A waste of time and energy. Hence, one of the biggest advancement in battery technology is the arrival of the new low discharge Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. This is another great step in helping the environment. I have very few left of the old batteries since I started to replace all of them with low discharge batteries. Eneloops and Duracell are 2 of the best of its kind.
Pros:
-Low discharge.
-Well constructed
-Conventional size and dimension. I had other batteries that I have to use a screwdriver to remove from my camera because it is fatter than other "AA's".
-Looks so sleek and sexy designwise
Cons:
-More expensive than ordinary NiMh
-Not available at many stores
-Maxes at around 2000-2100 mAh
