When the big cameras and speed lights stay home, and a pocketful of gear is all that's practical, this flash provides high end capability. Put the bracket in a drawer. Hold this flash at arm's length with the Powershot in the other hand. No more ugly on camera flash. Deflect the on-camera flash (my silver credit card works great) for even more creative control. Change ISO to balance ambient light component. Thus far, the experiments are tabletop and portrait scale. A smart companion to my S-90

I was hoping to use this flash for group/portrait shots, however, the flash isn't able to overcome the lens adapter attached to my camera. In other words, I can't figure out how to eliminate the shadow cast on subjects in the lower right side of the picture even with a flash bracket attached. Is a great addition if using with camera with no added accessories attached. Would not recommend unless existing flash on powershot cameras leaving indoor shots under exposed, although there are ways around this by changing camera settings, that is what I will do.

Add a little extra light to your photo with this lightweight slave flash. It's small enough to set on a shelf, mount on a monopod or attach to your camera. And for the price, you can get as many as you need! The only improvement I would recommend is a different battery type, like AAA or AA battery.
