Digital camera reviews of Bower Digital Automatic Flash for Sony (SFD296S)
Digital camera Review: Bower - no surprises
Summary: 3 Stars
The "economical" description is accurate. The flash is really inexpensive, but seemed to work well for a direct blast of flash as well as bounce. The construction is cheap feeling and one gets the immediate impression that the device is not a long term product - but, who really knows. I took several test pictures with the flash and most seemed to be just fine. It seemed to synch well with the camera. The battery compartment is just aggravating as one cannot tell where the positive and negative ends of the batteries are to be placed. The door to the battery compartment is cheap and could probably become loose with some use - especially since the flash is a battery eater.
All in all, for a very inexpensive swivel shoe flash, it can be recommended......but, price is a huge factor in the recommendation.
I chose to return the item as the compact and more expensive Sony compact bounce flash permitted me to keep the flash in the shoe even fitting in a holster case. The Sony is not as powerful but is better made and less bang for the buck.
