darn cheap, bro... that's the main cause... on the student budget track here...
just now asking emoblitz at Lords LP only got a blank stare - and answer... "no, we only stocked Nikon".
They were very 'busy' dealing with a group of angmoh until I stand there for arnd 5 minutes without anybody attended me... what to do... I'm just a poor student that looking for a cheapo flash... not asking for a 'flashy-speedy-lighty' flash...

2nd hand FZ 20... How much u get the emoblitz? Is it supporting auto exposure? Mine is totally manual... a bit tedious if u need to shoot 'fast'... - purposely give quote coz our 'fast' will never be as 'fast' as dSLR... hahahahaha... poor us, dSLR dreamer...

well our high speed focusing is on par with a dslr so it isnt that bad...

check out the lumix faq for info on the emoblitz... http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=124710

i got it for around $55 but i heard u can get cheaper if you bargain but i didn't..guess i was a small fry in AP sls...

oh btw its automatic flash. only got 3 modes, the hotshoe mode, slave 1 and slave 2. not much settings, or rather no settings! can tilt and swivel...
