Flash Bracket with a Fuji S7000 Camera? I have a Fuji Finepix S7000 camera. Can I use a strobe-a-frame to get the flash off the camera? If so, what brand of flash should I buy? Thanks.

Linda, There should not be any problem using a frame. I use one with the Fuji S2. I like the Sunpak line of flashes, and I own four. Look at the Sunpak 120J system. It is the flash and battery combination. It cost about $300.00. You will need a conversion plug adapter - $10.00 - and a Sunpak Nikon Dedicated Module (NE-1AF) - $75.00 - it is a TTL (through-the-lens) unit. I like this unit, because it gives me the versatility to use it as a straight flash. and I can use it as a bare-bulb flash. The battery allows me to shoot about two shots before I have to change batteries or recharge the one I am using. Hope these ideas are helpful.

I have used off camera flash with my S7000 and it is great. You can use any flash bracket you want, and since the S7000 uses any non-dedicated flash unit, the above answer is not as helpful to you. Any Vivitar strobe or external flash can be used with the proper cable, and if a regular PC cord is used, you can buy a cheap adapter and you can even use AC strobes. For an example of using a softbox and an ac strobe on an S7000, go here: http://www.usefilm.com/image/635302.html

Thanks you Doug & Mark for taking time to answer my question and to give me some web sites to check out. I'm anxious to get the flash up off the camera, so as to avoid those un wanted shadows!on my vertical pictures. Thanks, Linda
