Product Description
This attachable supplementary flash can be used to capture photographic subjects that are too distant for the built-in flash to illuminate. The range of the flash is approximately twice the range of the camera's built-in flash. This figure will vary according to such factors as the camera lens brightness (f/number), the zoom setting and the ISO speed setting.

 Excellent Product for Amature Photographer October 5, 2008
The Cannon HF-DC1 is an excellent assistant to the digital camera flash. I was the photographer a a friends wedding and all of the pictures came out perfect. The added power of the HF-DC1 illuminated the reception hall perfectly, not over or under exposed. I recommend this product very much.

The flash has added much clearer pictures and lets you take a picture where you could not make one before. To me it adds a lot of value to the camera without buy another camera.

I purchased this for my new Canon S3 IS. Worked great the first time I used it (as a bounce flash). I put it in my camera case, months later, I tried to use it again. Would not work (piece of junk). Amazon nor Canon will take it back.
Good for it's size August 7, 2008

I have a Canon SD850 I use for work. I take a variety of indoor and outdoor pictures. The SD850's flash does lack somewhat after the 10-ft mark, but the HF-DC1 fills in very well to 20-ft or so. 25-30 ft is pushing it, but keep in mind that this unit is small (a bit larger than a miniDV tape case), so it does perform well for it's size.
I've had some off-sync flashes and non-fires, but not enough to take away any points/stars. In AUTO mode, the HF-DC1 looks for the Canon's pre-flash and then fires in sync with camera's flash (NOT instead of), so it won't be saving your camera's battery life in typical flash photography, unless you can manually lower your camera's built-in flash intensity.

The only downside of this attachment is that you have to cazrry it separately, or attach it to the camera. That would be unwieldy. The built-in flash on my Canon PowerShot SD1000 is adequate for close-ups but I will have to get used to having to carry the external flash for those shots outside the range of the built-in flash. I think I am going to adjust to it.
