S&S YS - 110 TTL

A guy at B&H told me that the fiber-optic based TTL using the YS-110 does not work with Canon compact camera flashes ... can anyone confirm or contradict this?

I have a Canon G9 with a YS-15 Auto and YS-27DX and am considering dumping the YS-15 Auto for something bigger ... on paper, the YS-110 seems like a great choice. I bought the YS-27DX instead of a YS-110 because of what the guy said ...

Thanks in advance!

Although I don't have a Canon G9, I have been having major problems with the TTL on the YS-110 when paired with the Sea&Sea DX-1G. I get very inconsistent results - i.e. if I take 4 shots of the same, stationery subject, without changing any settings, I will get 4 different exposures ranging from blasted out to so underexposed you can't see the picture. I have also done a dive with the YS-110 strobe paired with the Sea&Sea DX8000G, and got the same inconsistent results. However, my buddy dove my DX-1G with his Sea&Sea YS-27DX strobe & the exposures were bang on each time (although the 27DX isn't capable of TTL). I have sent the information to Sea&Sea through my local dive store & await their answer - my conclusion is that the strobe is either faulty & just doesn't do TTL very well!

I would be most interested to hear of any other experiences with this strobe.
