Digital camera reviews of Pentax AF 360 FGZ Flash for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras (w/ case)
Digital camera Review: Great value
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this unit on K100D , Great value for day to day use. I use it with 18-250 Tamron lens.
I have found 2 things can
"can be improve" 1. The on/off the hot shoe can be easier 2. The LCD display screen does not have DSLR translation of the lens zoom setting.
Digital camera Review: A nice flash. I like it more than my AF540FGZ
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very compact flash with outstanding built quality.
Some people complain about lack of horizontal movement.
I do not have any problem with this, as I can always use it off-camera with my K10D in wireless mode.
I have also the Pentax AF540FGZ flashgun, so I can compare both units.
Unless I really need the power of the AF540FGZ, I prefer the 360 over the 540 for the reasons below:
- design and built quality is superior to the ones of 540 (changing batteries in the AF540FGZ is a nightmare due to poor design of the battery compartment cover - difficult to open and especially to close it)
- it is compact and fits in my smaller bag
Digital camera Review: Pentax AF 360 FGZ Flash for Pentax
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm pleased with the flash, but still am learning more about it. One thing is that I wish the camera and flash would focus and adjust more rapidly. I realize this probably isn't possible. A good value at the price I paid. llbDigital camera Review: Flash smarter than me.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the flash for my Pentax *ist SLR. I have used it for about a month now. I am very pleased with its performance. It is amazing to listen to it talk to the camera and change zoom settings as I zoom the camera. I have used it in dimly lit places and for fill flash in brighter places. It has performed well in both conditions.Digital camera Review: Does its job
Summary: 4 Stars
Had this for over a month now. The flash does its job well but i still had that underexposing i experienced with the built in flash. This is not the fault of the 360 but i think the overrated P-TTL. Underexposure seems to be a big problem with the K series using P-TTl, but I found a way around this underexposing. Pentax could have also included a horizontal swivel I think.
