    This is a great flash. I am still learning how to use all of the features. I had been looking at the F60 and F45 and went with this as an open box. Price definitely played a factor in my decision, but I definitely had my eyes on the F60 and hope I didn't cheat myself on features. So far I am happy with my purchase.

    The future of digital cameras will always require some level of lighting and this flash gives me all the light I require. The LED lighting and continuous lighting within the center is very helpful for portrait photos and animation video tests. I highly recommend this flash for beginners and novices using the Sony Alpha line of cameras.

    This is a much improved version of Sony camera flash. When one uses more than one flash with the camera, this flash is controlled by radio signal which is much better than infrared signal. An important feature of this flash is that it has the ability to independently control each of the external flash light. Great for portrait photography.
