Is there ANY way possible to get the right flash that I order? Twice I ordered the SFD926C and twice I received the much cheaper. SFD290.

How did you pay for the item? If credit card the CC company should have a buyer's protection program. Even if not you should be able to dispute the charge and that ties the payment up - lost $$ usually will get an immediate response.

wow...i've never used that brand of flash...here's what i can tell you...on all my Sony branded flashes, they work like a charm...i do have one Sigma flash (610 dg super something) that won't fire with any of my triggers (i also have a set of pixel pawn triggers)...i'd contact the people at Cowboystudio...they're pretty good about getting back to customers

Because it nikon the ttl is set up differently... Canon has it own format of TTL... What I would do is if you had the flash less than 30 day exchange it or call vivitar and ask for a replacement flash but with a canon hot shoe... Vivitar's customer service is very helpful!

I had the same issue and I am kinda disappointed at these tactics. I specifically ordered 7 rather than 7B and got 7B from beach camera. I wrote today just to let my fellow patrons of amazon know that you are not alone done in by these shady practices.

Whoa, buying and having it shipped straight from Hong Kong? Did you ever do that in the states or only in the UK? BTW, thanks for the great posts Mark, they're turning out to be very very helpful. I am currently shopping around for a telephoto and have to make a decision soon about the aperture f/4 or f/2.8, the $$ i want to spend on it and whether I want IS or not. You may be able to help with the $$ on the Hong Kong issue. Thanks again! Nino

I ordered the silver version with a "1-2 month wait" on 11/3 and it's scheduled to arrive today. Original estimated delivery was as late as Jan 5. It was $399.99 and I would have liked the black, but couldn't justify the price difference. I love how, for example, canon G9s are selling for way over retail and G10s are bouncing around $460. So order the silver LX3k from amazon, as they seem to have just gotten some in.

Please look up DRAM exchange. The cost of the chips used to make this products fluctuates. This caused pricing to differ. Cost price on an item purchased from a manufacture changes on a daily basis. It is the nature of flash I regret. A factor outside of all sellers.

Jeffroar, have you had any luck in determining a solution? I just got my FZ100 last week and have been struggling with the same issue. Without the flash I'm amazed at how well it captures true color/light, but when I open the flash to "brighten up" my shot the resulting image is much darker. Any thought (Les or others) on if an external flash would help here by extending the range?Thanks - Rich

I agree. Recently my hubby and I were shopping, and I wanted either the Olympus FE-370, or the CAnnon sx-110-Is.Low and behold when I opened the parcel yesterday, there was that fugifilm s1000. every shot was blurry and just crap!Im returning it today, and going to get one of my first choices.

The one I ordered was designed for other Nikon models. I complained and the refunded my $. Maybe it was an error at the factory? Although the didn't have the right one so I had to go elsewhere.

Can you tell me about the results? I still haven't done the actual ordering, I'm still researching. I want to make sure I get a good camera. I have a Canon PowerShot and I'm happy with the pictures. That's why I wanted to stick with a brand I was familiar with.

Sorry. I don't know. I had a question last time and I called the manufacturer. The customer service representative didn't help me and told me to ask the vendor that I bought the flash from. I bought my flash on Amazon from a company in the US. They probably do offer a limited warranty, but I don't have any information on it. The flash works great for me. Plus it is cheap.

Make sure both are on the same channels..check settings within the camera for internal / external flash. What model camera? And the transmitter is being mounted to the shoe, correct?

My flash was broken a couple of months after the buying, the seller doesnt take responsability, he send me with Yongnuo. they told me that I had to send the flash to China to reclaim warranty, and I had to pay all the shipping charges

I'm really sorry I can't help you, I bought this flash as a gift for a friend. I would browse through the Nikon forums if I were you....good luck!
