Comment:

Pros:-Price-Swivel-Tilt-Diffuser included-i-TTL-Uses AA batteries-Easy to use-Light-weightCons:-Made of cheap plastic-Uses AA batteries-Not that strong of a flash-The battery compartment is obnoxious-not great for close shots-misfires with cameraThis flash lighting is fairly accurate while maintaining colors(with the diffusor on). It gave good results. I used it in an dimly lit auditorium zoomed in on a stage from about 40 feet away, and the results came out ok (with the diffusor removed). Just beyond that the pictures were unusable. The flash needs about 4 seconds to recharge, so don’t plan on continuous shooting. It’s very light to carry, but feels like it’s built from cheap plastic. I took it on my travels, and was careful. However, the shoe chipped off. The company fixed it for free though. Very nice of them.I used cheap 4 alkaline batteries the first night I got it, and it worked well the whole evening that I took photos for a couple of hours – almost 100 photos. The package says 4 batteries will get you about 100-300 photos, which sounds about right. The battery compartment is a little painful to work with. Once in awhile, it will mis-communicate with the camera and your pictures will be slightly underexposed or lose a little saturation. For my budget, and the lighting I was looking for, I was satisfied. I would recommend it to budget conscious users, because of the features. However, if you’re looking for a strong flash in very large dark areas, and better build quality, I would recommend something higher end.
