I remember reading that a while back about mobile phone cams, but if they try to use it against  a dedicated digital cam I doubt it will work as a simple polarizer would soak a good whack of both the reflection and especially the tightly focused light

I normally never use flash if I can avoid it, natural lighting is preferable and the light from a flash brings its own problems. At concerts they just arent anywhere near powerful enough and use one too close and what you get is whiteout.

I think what they are talking about might be that the light will fool your cameras lightmeter into thinking its far brighter than it is so your pictures come out extremely dark except for the light source. The alternative is that it overwhealms the natural light so all you get is the output of the lazer.

Mind it might also cause problems with blinding people if its powerful enough, you have to be careful with lasers.

Its primarily for stopping pirates video movies from the back of the cinema.

I never suggested you would do.

I said POINT AND SHOOT idiots doing flash photography, the kinda folk who take a compact and have it on auto flash. Camera thinks its dark, so flashes but it does f**k all to brighten the picture.

very pretty but it doesnt work on SLRs (mirror gets in the way, the CCD is only exposed for the length of the exposure). Only really any good against video cameras since anyone using a P&S is unlikely to get a decent shot unless its something really fancy like Seriouss Lumix.
