Just messing around tonight with my 330GS and a cheap pocket slave flash, discovered that the trick to using it is to activate red-eye mode then pull the slave out of pocket after the first flash (assistant required if trying this on a distant subject). Had some reasonable results, shows the insufficiency of the built in unit. This is my fave shot though - MZ50 is on the kitchen countertop, Optio set to -2.0 comp, slave flash is dropped inside a red plastic drinks cup to the right of the MZ50. I just picked up a 430 RS and am very pleased with it... the 16 mb CF card that comes with the camera is useless so I picked up a 256 mb card that holds 89 max resolution images. My only complaint is the auto focus needs a reasonable amount of light even with the focus aid light on the camera. But then, I am used to the MZ S that focuses extremely well with or without the AF360FGZ aid light. Mike...
