This Sunpak DF 4000u worked perfectly right out of the box. There was a bit of a learning curve for me since I don’t shoot with a flash very often. Once I had it set up properly, it functions well. I think this is an excellent value for the price. I will be getting the battery pack to improve longevity!

At this price point I did not expect much but this flash is a great value. I am new to flash photography and was not sure what to get. The Best Buy customer service rep helped me pick this one. I had some Best Buy points as a bonus. This is very easy to use and will adjust itself to the light conditions you are shooting. I did not know the difference in flashes and went with TTL that will adjust flash while in automatic mode on your camera. No settings the flash as it will adjust on its command from the camera. Great value for a beginner.

Way cheaper than canon flashes and does the job. If you absolutely want a canon recommend getting a used one, other than that this one will work for most people. Especially if you are just starting out, or an amateur photographer. Works great.

I needed a flash on short notice to take pictures at a work conference. The little pop-up flash on my Nikon DSLR wasn't going to cut it. Being cost conscious I first bought a used Nikon flash with the same features that would have cost much more new. When it failed to work right I headed to my local Best Buy where they had a couple of these Sunpaks in stock. It did a great job. The tilt and swivel head, the pull out bounce card and diffuser all came in handy for different shots and were easy to use. I can also slave it to the pop-up flash on my camera for multi-flash lighting setups. I'm very pleased with it.

This is one of the best flashes for the money that I've found. I've even owned a few Canon & Nikon flashes before, and compared with those, other than a few extra bells and whistles, this flash is a great buy.

Okay so my external flash fits perfectly, so I'm not sure what these other reviews are going on about.
For the price, I was very happy with my purchase as the one I originally wanted was over $200. FOR A FLASH.
Final verdict: I am very glad I made this purchase.

First, I’m not a professional photographer.
This flash is easy to set up and works very well. I bought it to take some outdoor night pictures of my kids. The pictures turned out beautifully. I would definitely recommend trying this before spending a couple hundred dollars ona speedlite.

The Sunpak DF4000U External Flash has been a valuable addition to my photography gear. Its automatic zoom head adjusts from 28mm to 180mm, accommodating various shooting scenarios. The built-in bounce card and swivel head, which rotates 180° to the left, offer flexibility in directing light for optimal subject illumination. The illuminated LCD display simplifies customization of settings, and the hot shoe attachment ensures easy installation and removal. Powered by four AA batteries, it's convenient for on-the-go shooting. Overall, this flash provides excellent value for its price, enhancing the quality of my photos across different environments.

Great for low light / night photography. Has a bright flash, and easy to mount onto photography camera. It is a bit large, but that’s what you need for a big flash photo.
