I am always leary of trying to use flashes from other camera makers with a flash. Particularly in auto mode - which I think will give you problems. You may, however, be able to use it in manual. But for auto settings? Extremely unlikely. YMMV, however.

It will work manually, but won't work properly with the A100. The 2500HS(D), 3600HS(D) and 5600HS(D) models will work fine. Basically look for something with D in the model name. I've used my 5600HSD with my A100.
