Title: It's cheap, it works
Review: As an earlier reviewer mentioned, keep your expectations realistic for this device with its low price point, and it will fill the bill. I'm using an old Canon Speedlite 188A flash unit with the adapter, and it works reliably under controlled conditions -- my main usage is for taking portraits. I have the adapter screwed onto a tripod (you'll need to find a wingnut or hex nut plus a washer to clamp it down tight) and I set this up off to the side anywhere from 2ft to 10ft away from the digital camera to get a range of lighting effects. Pointed at the ceiling, you can get a nice bounce flash for even lighting. I discovered that I can mount the flash either forwards or backwards on the hot shoe to give me greater flexibility in sensor placement. For just a few bucks, I've improved the lighting of my digital pictures immeasurably.
