PowerextraProfessional DF-400 Speedlite Camera Flash for Canon Nikon Pentax Samsung Fujifilm Olympus Panasonic Sigma Minolta Leica Ricoh DSLR Cameras and Digital Cameras with Single-Contact Hotshoe

Great flash & affordable! I used this flash to photograph a wedding and it was a lifesaver!

Love the different power levels.

I purchased this unit a while ago. It worked great then started giving me trouble. The return window had closed so I didn't attempt a return. I hastily wrote a negative review instead of contacting the seller first for a solution. After I wrote my review and gave them 1 star, the company reached out to me. They offered to replace the unit at no additional cost to me. They didn't have to do that. They care about customer satisfaction and stand by their products. I will 1000% purchase from this company again. Thank you! Thank you! The new flash works beautifully and just in time...I have a shoot tomorrow! Amazing service!!

I bought a few of these budget flash units to replace a few other budget flashes that finally died on me after a year of heavy use. It's really as basic a flash unit if ever there was one. No LCD screen, no TTL, no wireless remote triggering - just a basic light up bar power meter, up and down buttons, a mode selector switch (manual, slave, and red eye reduction slave, I think). 99% of the time, I'm using them in manual mode, and I use them for everything - main key light inside a softbox, fill light in a cheap pop out diffuser, and even with no modifier at all as a hair light. These are AWESOME for what you're paying. Name brand flashes (Nikon, Canon, Sony) can cost a good 6-7x more than what you're paying. Yes they have more features and settings, but if you're looking for a basic no-frills flash, you cannot go wrong with the Powerextra units. They can drain regular alkaline AA batteries pretty fast - I'd suggest getting a 4 pack of eneloop rechargable batteries. The build is sturdy as the name brands, ease of use if off the charts, and what you can do with them is limited only to your imagination. Buy these Powerextra DF-400s - you'll thank me later on.

Works as described.

I didn't get to use it. Upon the first try it wasn't responding, like it was frozen. I couldn't adjust the flash output at all. I tried to take a picture with how it was set and I heard a loud hiss and pop. A battery exploded and leaked acid all inside. Brand new batteries out of the pack. I had to return the item.I opted for the Neewer VK750 II i-TTL. So far so good. Works great with my Nikon D3200 and still a good price.***UPDATE***After returning this flash, they sent me a new one to try. I haven't had a chance to really try it out yet, but I appreciate the free replacement. Just beware, they try to buy your positive reviews and get you to delete your negative ones, which means the reviews that are posted might not be a true reflection. I will update more once I've had a chance to try out the new one.

I'm giving 3 stars because I still need to play with it to see what it can do. So far I'm not impressed.

The power settings are very easy to use which is a good power and eye saver with great quality of light. I took the snap shot of my cat with no extra diffusion just the little pullout from the flash not even the bounce. This is at ISO 200, 125 of a second, 50mm f1.4 prime Lumix G-95 with micro 4/3 sensor at 1 foot away and the flash at lowest power. So it has Matt the Edit Cat's approval.
