Do I need a flash bar for my camera as well? I have a SX70.. but no flash bar.

If you are taking pictures indoors, a flash bar is a good idea. But outdoors you really don't need it--especially on a sunny day.

It's not ABSOLUTELY necessary, but it IS ISO~100 film, and a fixed f/8 lens if not slower. If you plan on using the film anywhere besides daylight, and open shade, it might be helpful.

Dear Anthony, the Polaroid SX-70 accepts flashbars with 10 bulbs each and you can still acquire some at the following address: store@filmphotography.com.However there also exist adapters with the flashbar socket onto the hotshoe of which you can insert any modern flash. These you could find at flea markets or photo shops that have been in the business for over 20 years. They usually have old stocks of new, unused adapters. That's where i found mine...Good luck!

I may not be the best person to ask about that as I haven't attempted any flash photography until just now (months after purchase). There is a flash symbol on the d-pad and the same symbol on the side of the camera where a pop-up flash comes out, but I was unable to get the flash to work at all using either of these buttons...

No the flash does not automatically pop up when needed. An icon telling you to use the flash does appear in the view finder/screen but have to manually release the flash with a button to the left of the flash. Some people will take pictures even though the camera tells them to use the flash which sometimes works okay and sometime not. I hope this helps.

No, you don't need to buy a flash for this camera. It comes with a built-in flash. I hope my reply helps.In very dim light, you can use Voitglander Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 lens with this camera to take pictures without flash.

I had the same problem. I too am frustrated trying to learn this camera - in the past all I had was a very basic digital camera. My issue was having the burst feature on. If you hit menu, and next to picture burst if it does not day "off" the flast will not work.

Yeah the biggest complaint for the SX200IS was the automatic flash every time. I'm gonna wait to see if that has been fixed in the SX210IS before I go ahead an order. Looks like a great improvement in every other area!I'm glad I held out on getting my super-zoom point and shoot! Within the last few weeks Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, and Panasonic all announced their Spring 2010 models. There are some real good options out there!

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

I have the Nikon V1. There is no built in flash but you can purchase an assessory flash which I have not done yet. Since I like to take photos without flash I have delayed buying the hot-shoe flash. However I just returned from the Perot Museum which proved I needed the flash attachment. . . waiting for a sale.

It really needs an external flash if you want good quality pictures. I use the camera flash but in large rooms or dim lighting, I know the pictures will be somewhat grainy. For me that is just fine, for others, get the external flash.

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

Flash is included in the package, but I don't use it. In low light you get a good quality image. A processor, software, and image sensor allow you to do without flash in low light.

From what I've gathered the IS is needed only if there is low light for the distance shooting. I believe a fill flash would help, but I havent read anyone post anything as far as using fill flash at 200mm without the IS.

Yes there is a flash attachment that comes with the camera. Mine did at least!

no.. i checked and it says the S5000 only takes xD cards.. if you had the S7000 then you'd be able to use a compact flash

Most probably yes, you are not using the camera correctly, I advice you to read the manual again. I have this camera for 6 months now, and it works perfectly! Good luck with that. Also take into account the light, because it might be that you are using the flash when you don't need it =)

You can't adjust flash power, Paul. The camera is amazing though. I have enjoyed using it as both a companion to my DSLR and in place of the DSLR when I don't want to lug around a lot of equipment.
