Digital camera reviews of Sony HVL-F56AM High-Power Digital Camera Flash for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Digital camera Review: Great flash so far...
Summary: 4 Stars

This is my first top-mounted flash and it's performed well. I ordered this with a Sto-Fen diffuser (must-have) for my Sony A100 and it's gotten a decent amount of use since Christmas Day, including a wedding last weekend.

I haven't take then time to learn all of the functions, but in Auto mode it's performed well. I also purchased a 4-pack of Sony Ni-MH rechargable batteries (with charger) specifically for this. For a wedding shot last weekend, I plowed through my fully-charged Sony's in a little less than an hour. Not sure if that's normal or not; I figured they'd last a bit longer.

Anyways, good product. Love it.

Digital camera Review: Great flash, still working on color adjustments
Summary: 4 Stars

First off, to all who wonder, the flash does work flawlessly on the Konica Minolta 7D. All of the features including the remote flash work. The flash is a nice edition to my outfit. The only complaint I have is that I am still working on making color corrections with the flash in use.
Enjoy

Digital camera Review: I must of Got A Lemon
Summary: 2 Stars

I've had this flash for well over two years now and I for the life of me can't see what everyone's raving about. Light falloff is a big problem, and underexposure seems to be the norm. About the only way I seem to be able to get around this is to manually compensate on the order of 2 stops to get anything resembling decent lighting. The pop-up on my A100 is much better generally. I've contacted Sony to see if there's possibly a problem with the camera but as of yet they haven't answered me. I was much happier when I was able to use my Vivitar 283/85's. Then again, maybe I'm just an old crab.

Digital camera Review: I'm pleased
Summary: 5 Stars

Great Product, great service. The Sony flash gets professional face tones and improves all other areas. Stan L.
