Very weak

I just can't get over the fact that this is weaker, with less coverage than the on-camera flash. The D3400 has a great flash, but any shoe flash should be better.

It doesn't think for you, but it thinks with you

As with anything, the quality of your photos will vary with the level of your skill. If you even halfway know how to use bounce flash (and if you don't, PLEASE DO LEARN!) this unit will do a fantastic job of getting the best results your skill level can possibly achieve.

Great start-up flash!

Great flash for my level of photography! It works easy, the batteries last a long time (surprisingly), easy to attach to camera. Highly recommend if you're a starter with flash!

Battery life is short.

I was disappointed in how quickly the batteries died with this flash.

Not too much!

This product wasn't full of buttons and switches. I just want to pick a distance and shoot and that's what this flash does. Bottom line: easy to operate. I love it.

Nice budget flash

When looking for an economical on-camera flash, I decided to try out this Bower unit. I knew it might not be as fancy as other brand name items, but it seemed to have the essential features I needed. It can be positioned in several ways, it has great flash output, and works well with my Nikon D7100. It does have light-feeling plastic construction that some might call cheap, but so far I have had no malfunctions. I intend to keep practicing my flash photography, and starting out with this Bower flash is a great way to learn.

Great Basic Speed Flash

Just picked this up to shoot my first wedding for an aquaintance, and it proved to be a work-horse. The wedding was outdoors at sunset and I wanted to use the dramatic sunsets their location was known for as the back-drop but the on-camera flash would never have cut it. Not wanting to carry my strobes and gear around, I opted for this unit for my Nikon D5100. It produced plenty of light for the fieldwork before, during and after sunset. I good basic flash that makes a solid addition to anyones accessory pack.

Good value

I"m a beginner. This flash is simple and works well for ceiling bounce. So, I'm happy. Its a bit big, so I don't carry it around much. My wish list would include a smaller version of the same, maybe with wireless or a cable so I can create some sidelight.

Great price

I needed a third flash for stand alone fill light. Works well with my other Nikon flash units.

Great basic flash

If you are looking for an affordable, simple, lightweight flash, this is a great product. I needed one in a hurry and didn't have a lot of money, and this fit the bill. If you are looking for something more on the professional level, this doesn't have the additional functions and features you will need, but for everyday use, its great.

Works great

I really like this flash for the price and the functionality. Only had it two months, but ordered another one already. Using it with Cactus' wireless tranceiver kit for remote triggering, and it's given me amaazing results.
