Digital camera reviews of Sunpak Super 383 Flash
Digital camera Review: Not New
Summary: 4 Stars
The strobe works as it should. However, the unit I received was supposed to be new. It wasn't. Packaged as new; under the wrappings the control panel on the back of the unit was scratched--it had been used. The cosmetic mars were inconsequential and did not affect performance when used with a hot shoe. Missing in the box was the synch cable. Sunpak uses a proprietary mini plug connector. There should have been a short cable with mini-plug to PC that allows use with other cameras, flashes and triggers. I reported this in previous e-mail to Amazon.Digital camera Review: Old school flash but it certainly does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not used an external flash prior to this and I was wondering if I should go with one of the fully automatic modern flashes. But given the price differential the Sunpak was an easy choice.
It can be use in its automatic mode where parameters are set using the table like knobs on the back or it can be use fully manual by just adjusting the flash output level.
Use it to bounce off a ceiling or wall while on camera or get a radio trigger and get the freedom to place it where you want.
Digital camera Review: SUNPAK 383 SUPER
Summary: 5 Stars
This flash is the perfect back-up for a studio, or Main/flash fill for an amateur studio. I use several w/slaves and lines and the images rival set-ups that cost thousands of Dollars. I like that they are light and easy to pack and transport. They are reasonably priced. They have been around for a long time and do not have bells and whistles. The SUNPAK has auto/f-stop and manual. If you are a real photographer, you will know how to use them. The down side is that if your SUNPAK is plugged into a wall, it takes far too long to recharge (sometimes 3-5 seconds). Rechargeable batteries seem to work the best with 1-3 second recharge times between flashes.Digital camera Review: Safe for new camera?
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe somebody could comment on whether there is any risk to a digital SLR when using this flash. I recently got a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and would like to use my Sunpak Super 383 on it, but have heard horror stories about old flashes frying the electronics of new cameras.Digital camera Review: Solid, dependable
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not the latest and greatest in technology, but it's powerful, inexpensive and it does the job very well.
