Don't hesitate to order this! You won't be disapointed.

This flash is a great addition to any portable kit. As long as one remembers to switch the switch to slave (insert "I am an idiot" here) it never fails to flash. I take it with a small portable studio and it serves me well. Great features for such a small price, I ordered a second one. Fast recovery after flash too. GET ONE OF THESE!

Good Flash

Fits seemlessly in with Nikon's automation. All modes controlled by camera work as they should. AAs last a good while on auto. A little bummed by the lack of instructions in the tiny manual, but lots of info online. A ggod purchase for those who can't afford an on camera flash that costs as much as the camera.

Excellent On Camera Flash Replacement

This is a very good on camera flash. It can also be triggered as an off camera flash using the camera's built in flash (I use a T2i, so no on board ETTL commander), but it always fires at full power so the output is basically doubled, overexposing the subject.

The Vivitar DF-286 flash is a fully automatic, system-dedicated shoe mount flash. It features full TTL support for digital SLR cameras. The bounce, zoom and swivel head will give you more creative opportunities with your shots. The four position zoom can be set to bounce at 0 degree , 45 degrees , 60 degrees , 75 degrees and 90 degrees and has a horizontal swivel of 270 degrees to allow for softer lighting.

The flash includes a built-in slave function, which allows it to be positioned off-camera and triggered by any second flash. A red focus beam will help you achieve focus in low light conditions and power saving circuitry incorporates an auto-off element, giving you more battery life. The included flash reflecting plate creates beautiful lighting, which greatly improves your images. The wide angle diffuser can be attached to the flash head to soften and increase the coverage of light from the flash. Red-eye reduction will prevent your flash from reflecting off your subject's eyes.
