I bought one from mobilefun.com £19.95 + p&p, great for dark situations it uses the normal K750 light as red eye reduction once attached it enables the flash menu in settings (unavailable when not attached) so you can use it in auto mode or always on when taking picture. Little unsightly when attached but if you can get past that part you are well away, also came with detachable strap. highly recommended, having said that i would choose my sony DSC-T33 every time as it is fantastic but it should be for what it cost.

I bought mine for S$38 which works out to be around 12pounds or US$18. Its small and light and really makes a difference in the quality of shots.
Here's a comparison.
Environment: Dim Lighting at night.
Without flash. ISO-800 and 1/5 sec exposure time.
Without flash. Camera light on(?), Night mode on (?). ISO-500 . 1/5sec exposure time
With flash. ISO-200. 1/15sec exposure time
So you get cleaner (less grainy) shots as well as faster shutter speed/shorter exposure time = less blurring.
However, you cannot force the flash to go off if the sensor determines there is enough light for the shot.(which is not always the case)
Hope this helps.

i have MXE-60 for US$18. it's a worth buying accessories to those who like photo snapping.
however... it more advisablable to use it inside an indoor environment. it's pretty hard to see the effect if ya in an open space. serious... it reduced a lot of noise!

Yes i purchased one, they are great, really makes a difference, but in another thread, since using it, my phone drains the battery when using mp3, im not sure if this had anything to do with the flash , or it was a headset problem, but i had the phone replaced today, and i will be thourouly testing everything.
