OK... this is my third attempt at writing this as the when I try to preview my post the server (?) crashes and loses wot I've typed, so here it is in bullet point...

CameraBright X1-ER:

Build: very plastic and very big.

Performance: it allows the Z3 to focus in near to total darkness, but not in just low-light. Forget taking photos using just the CameraBright, it is purely a focus aid for flash. It blinds anyone who you point it at, so expect to be cursed when using it.

Value: Looks $20, cost $35, cost me to import to the UK $70!!!

CameraBright.com YOU NEED A UK DISTRIBUTER!!

Conclusion: worth the $35 bearing in mind it holds 4 lithium cells. Don't expect miracles.

Hope this helps.
