Title: A word of Warning for CoolPix owners
Product review: I bought this for use with my CoolPix 5000 camera because Nikon's tech support had recomended it. They said it would improve my indoor shots (because the CP 5000 has a terrible flash built-in), but instead it overloads the shots and they come out mostly white. I read the manual carefully and it looks like the reason is that this flash is built to automatically or manually focus the light for a 14mm to 70mm lense and the CP 5000 has a 7.2mm lense. I subsequently purchased a Nikon D70s camera (1,000,000 times better camera) and this flash is great for extremely dark shots on that camera (though the built-in flash is perfect for fill so this is really only for night shots and shots in darkness where I want to get something far away). If you own a CoolPix camera, consider buying a used flash that isn't as powerfull. If you own a D70s and want superior night photography, this is the best flash in the world (good thing I ended up in the latter end of the spectrum).
