Works for any camera with a built-in flash
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I got this flash for my Sony DSCW1 camera because the one criticism of this camera was that the built-in flash was weak and had a limited range of about 10-12 feet.
This external flash certainly does work to augment the flash capabilites of the DSCW1. In my tests, it appears to be effective outdoors at night at distances of up to about 50-60 feet.
The HVLFSL1B is...

Worked Great!...Until It Didn't
Purchased this Sony Slave Flash as an accessory to my Sony digital camera. Right before the warranty expired it quit working. Assuming it needed a new battery, I replaced it, only to have it quit again after a few light ups. By the time I realized the Slave Flash (and not the batteries) was at fault, the warranty had expired. I contacted Sony, explained that I had given their Slave Flash the benefit of the doubt by replacing batteries instead of contacting them, but they wouldn't help me a b...

Excelente Producto
Tengo una Cybershot DSC-P200 y este Flash esclavo ha sido muy util en situaciones donde el flash normal de la camara no es suficiente, lo mejor es que puedes graduar la intensidad de luz del flash, se debe practicar un poco para saber en que nivel debe colocarse so pena de sobreexponer la foto.
No le di las 5 estrellas simplemente porque la bateria que trae es muy dificil conseguirla recargable.
Notese que es un flash que dispara por un fotosensor, si disparas a un sitio que no refleje...

Better as a hockey puck...great flash (if you're prepared for the footnotes)
So, I'd read a few reviews and finally caved in and bought the flash. My Sony Cybershot DSC-P73 was on the list of compatible cameras and the price seemed reasonable.
But what I got for my money was disappointing. Okay...virtually useless.
Tucked away in the notes for the Flash (and nowhere on eBay ro the Sony site that I could see) is a "note" that, hey, this won't work outdoors and it won't work indoors either unless you're pointing it at a shiny surface.
Now I ask you: who wa...

Not really much of a need
The flash works fine.. but it's rare that would need it.. I bought it mostly to help with the dark flare when using the Sony wide-angle lens in low lighting conditions indoors - The lens blocks part of the camera's flash. With practice I was able to eliminate the dark spot.
This unit responds to the flash reflection from your camera. So, your camera must flash for this slave flash to work. I've never needed more than the lowest setting on this unit because any higher will wash out the phot...

Works fine!
Purchased this flash to use with my DSC-W1 to fill in where the built-in flash was partially blocked by the telephoto lens. After playing with it for a few days it does a fine job. No problems with shadowing, flashes at all "normal" angles and positions from the built-in flash, and seems built well enough to hold up over time.

Good after a little work
I purchased this item for my DSC-W170 - it's nicely made. Initially it did not work properly - almost always fired with the pre-flashes due to a supersensitive sensor. Never failed to fire even with my finger over the sensor! I fixed it by cutting out small circles of masking tape (using three hole punch). Two of these stuck over the sensor and it works beautifully.
