Canon Speedlite 580EX II, Shoe Mount Flash - Basic Outfit with 4 NiMH Batteries, Charger, Flashpoint Flash Diffuser

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Flashes
from: Canon


This unit is superior to the 430 EX in all of the important ways: more powerful, many more features, built very well, a bit heavier, but worth the extra weight in performance. A must have for the pro and serious amateur. Amazon's price package could not be beat. I use the 430 EX as a slave unit and as a backup.

LumiQuest ProMax SoftBox

What a simple and incredible product.

It really does dramatically soften the flash and spread it VERY wide.

I purchased this specifically to take "flashed" pics with a fisheye lens.

This is the only portable product I'm aware of the is sturdy and flexible and made of great material to achieve this diffusion for a corded flash.

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Flashes
from: PHOENIX


it's a little big but works well on my camera....kind of reminds me of the quanteray flash i had on my old rebel 35mm camera..kind of bulky,kind of heavy and not as well built as the cannon flash or even the quanteray, but for the price a good deal...i would recomend it to anyone who wants an entry level flash for their canon DSLR.

Lomographic Colorsplash Flash for 35MM Cameras

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Flashes
from: Lomography


I've had this flash for over a year now. I use it all the time and it's a lot of fun. I mostly use it with my LCA. That said, it is kind of a piece of crap. It's broken a couple times and I've had to take it apart to straighten out all the little filters when they get crunched up inside. It is currently being held together with gaffers tape.

If you just want to have some fun taking colorful film pictures out at a bar or a party or something - I would recommend the Colorsplash camera, although it will probably break, too. Just keep your receipt, most lomo products have a one year warranty. The Colorsplash camera is a lot of fun and a lot less complicated than the LCA/Colorsplash flash combo. Especially if you're drinking.

Pentax AF540FGZ Flash for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras (Includes Case)

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Flashes
from: Pentax

May 11, 2006
I am a part-time wedding/event photographer who uses Pentax system (as of summer 2008 I have a K20D, K10D and an *ist DS). I own two Pentax AF540 FGZ units and my experience with both of them is decidedly mixed. The new Pentax K20D is one of the best cameras avaialable today for any price. The Pentax 540 FGZ flash, on the other hand, is old, badly designed and badly built. It's not worthy to sit atop the K20D.

I've encountered three problems with these units. If you search the Internet you will discover that these complaints are not uncommon.

First, I've had problems with build quality on both of my units. I purchased my first 540 FGZ in 2007. After only one or two events, the auto-zoom motor stuck. Flash had to be sent ... Read More:

Holga Manual Shoe Mount Flash with a GN of 22'

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Flashes
from: Holga


This flash, being used with a Holga 120N doesn't do anything more than is advertised. For the price though, it is a great product. It fired on time, every time and works surprisingly well in closer distances.

Adorama Hot Shoe to PC Adapter, Single Outlet without Connecting Cord.

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Flashes
from: Adorama


This is so necessary for today's electronic cameras. Why take the chance of burning your electronic circuits with the off camera flashes. Slave flash is unreliable. Hard wire your camera but don't use the PC connector as some monoflashes suck more that 5-12 volts and this can ruin the electronics of the most robust camera.

Mount this on the flash shoe and there will be no chance that the flash will cause damage to your camera.
