This is a fantastic flash. It does well with battery power and the only negative thing I can say is that in all the times I've used it (and that's been ALOT) I've had it overheat twice. Once at an outdoor summer wedding and once at an indoor baby shower. I turned it off and could resume using it again in about 5 minutes. This is not a defect of the flash, just hot environments with heavy use. I would NOT let this stop me from buying it or buying a second one to have in case this happens. I would HIGHLY recommend this flash!

I am new on taking photo I bought DSLR just to take picture for my kids and for my family I own A200. When I see this flash i started to read some flash issue. then I came up to an end that i got the right DSLR in my hands so i did not think twice to order this in AMAZON. Now I got it, and it is excelent superb!!!! I take photos on recognition day of my kids and there is a dance number that I use this flash cintinues shot and all shot are clear... it just like taking picture in the mid of the sunlight... I know its exargerating but... now I Am planning to get A700 and another set of orders in this site will be placed for this flash gun...

This unit works well. It is bright enough to light up a wide angle shot in a small hall with some ambient light, without blowing out close up shots. It has a fast recharge, and good color balance. I prefer the results obtained when using an aftermarket opaque white diffuser, reducing mirror/glass glare or "stars", and providing a more uniform exposure.

This is without a doubt the best flash you could ever find and own... I am an enthusiast amateur and I can tell to anyone without a photographic knowledge that you will be fascinated with this and to the people that do know a little bit more (or a lot) you can just relay on the specification because they are all true and they are AWESOME. You wont regret the buy of this flash!!

The flash works perfectly with my A900. It recharges quickly and they work together to do a good job properly exposing images.
