I have a Raynox set for my S2 IS (which is the same lens as the S5 IS).
DCR-1540PRO 1.54X
DCR-6600PRO 0.66X

Both are with the 52mm Raynox adapters. Also have a 58mm lensmate adapter with a UV filter. I use this when I want to use a polariser or my IR filter.

I have a friend who is selling his Canon WC-DC58A wide converter with the Canon adapter and hood. PM me if you are interested.

Hi all S5 Bros & Sis,

I've just upgraded from S3 to S5, just because of the hot shoe. I'm planning to get Canon's flash Speedlite 430EX. However, I read some review on using this flash with S5, regarding somes problems on synchronizing.

Any of you has the same experience? Are there other brands flash to recommend?

Sanyo Eneloops as they last very long and can hold charge up to 80% for a year. Bring the charger of cos and get at least 2 sets if u're planning to use heavily.

I bought 430 EX grey from OP. $420 nett. Cash price. Most shops selling local sets at $450-460 range.

If u wan absolute cheapest, get from B&S section. Saw a few going for under $400.:bigeyes:

I totally agree. I've spent a lot of $ trying different brands. Eneloop is the only one that I'm very happy with so far. I got it from Eastgear @ $10 for 2, the cheapest I know so far. Anyone know any place selling cheaper than this?

I just bought Powerex (Imedion) from Eastgear too ($20 fror 4), suppose to be able to hold charge for a year. Will try out and let you all know if it's good.
