I bought the flash a month ago. The turning point for the adjustment for the flash doesn't work so I send in. Now it is with Sony.

I purchased this because it was a Sony and it would mate well with my A7RII. It is compact but that is about the only thing I like about it. Light output is very low and has no manual override. Purchased a Flashpoint instead. The Flashpoint is bigger but light output and flexibility are superior and hands down a better value.

I bought this to simply use as a trigger to fire my F60M flashgun off camera and works well for this

Used up 3 similar flash units in 3 years. The latest broke down after 4 months. One I threw away accidentally without sending for repair although under warranty. Also have quality problem with my Sony A6300. Video focusing sometimes drops off midway. Repaired 4 times, still the problem persists. Disappointed!

This flash is a"jewel" on my A6000. More power and flexibility than the built in flash. Light weight and compact for travel. I love the "fold flat" feature whilst walking around. Fits the concept of compact mirrorless cameras.

Surprisingly packs alot of power for a flash so small.

I already owned a bigger Sony flash but wanted a smaller one to carry with me for those times I didn't think I would even need a flash. And, I wanted this one to serve as the "controller" flash to flash my other flash off camera. I was told this would do the trick. And it does. Very simple to operate. This flash works well. It's basic and it's small, and that's what I wanted. It does have a switch to change between direct flash and bounce flash.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas for his Sony camera. He absolutely loves it, it has so many functions and features and was very affordable. Worth it.

This little flash is perfect for what I need, usually a little fill flash outside or to brighten up a dull interior. It's not to powerful but used with my hx400v has enough features for what I need and folds down ready for use, just perfect.

I have purchased large flash guns in the past but came to realise that it is better to have a smaller flash for fill in. This is a brilliant little flash. It has been all over the world with me and remains on my camera almost all the time.It is so light I do not even know it is there. It provides enough illumination for 95% of all circumstances and it is brilliant that it also comes with an internal "wide" filter and has the capability to "bounce" also. When in the "off" position, you can fold the flash down, whist on the camera making the whole unit (camera+flash) very compact indeed. I am writing this review now as I have just purchased another one after I managed to break the last one after almost 6 years! Initially used on my A7R and now on my A7R3.

Hi, I bought this for the Sony A7rII. It is small and easy to carry. The added bonus is it could be used to wirelessly trigger my Nissin i40 and old minolta 3600 HSD. The F20M alone only syncs up to 1/250. However, with it used as the wireless trigger, the Nissin i40 can be fired remotely in TLL and HSS up to 1/4000s. This is extremely helpful.

I bought this and after the warranty period was over, so was the flash. I loved the compact size and could live with the lack of power, but it just started becoming unreliable. I replaced it with a much better flash from another manufacturer at less than half the price.

I wanted a flash to add to my 6500, for occasional use on holiday. The F20M is physically small and light, and does a great job. I was also pleased to find that it was able to control the off-camera wireless flash that I had bought with my Sony A100 over ten years ago. That was a nice bonus, and makes me even more happy with the purchase, especially at the low price.

Lovely, compact/ light weight unit. Easy to handle it compare to HVL-F32M unit I used for my ILCA-99M2. This is one in “Good balance on my ILCE-7RM3”.

Flash itself is good for light photo tasks, it is not a professional flash but it is especially one of the best for travel, one thing that makes it more appealing is the Adorama bundle which comes with it.

Does exactly what I wanted. Small compact flash to give you that extra light when needed, only wanted something small to have in the bag, Very happy

Great small flash, I appreciate how light and easy it is to use. The rechargeable batteries help a ton since the batter life isn't too long. For the price it is worth it!

If you are starting, are not looking for different setups, club photos, I would say it's a good accessory to start with. To be honest, if it could pan/tilt would be perfect to me.

It is ok and good for a compact flash. I returned it for a more full featured flash.

Ok so it's not the fanciest flash on the block, but it combines seamlessly with the camera via the hotshoe and is ideal as a fill-in for those situations that need a bit of a boost.

Tiny palm-sized unit that offers another couple of stops of flash over the pop-up unit built into the A6000. I generally use it in its bounce position and am surprised at its performance.

I used this flash on my Sony a7Riii to do off-camera flash shooting. Once I had it fully snapped onto my hot shoe, it worked like a charm. The battery charger came with 4 batteries, 2 for this flash and 2 for my other flash. Perfect!
