Against some of the photoflash based cameras, yes, the second-generation VF was successful.
However, it was again found to be far from perfect - against cameras which do not utilize visible-light photoflash, including video-based cameras such as the Redflex (of which we're seeing more and more of, here in the US), these units are all but useless.
Again, as with the sprays, I'd say that if they work in your area, for your particular purposes, then yes, it may be worth it for you to invest in such protection. However, given the variety of cameras that are out there, I would be very, very hesitant to count this kind of device as a true "countermeasure" when it comes to traversing the country.
