Good for price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good flash for the price. It works well for point and shoot. It is hard to understand the other workings of it. It would be nice to have a tutorial on it (I'm sure I can find it online but would be nice if the manufacturer did one). I will say the name brand one did understand lighting situations better than this one. For the cost difference, if you can figure this one out, this one wins.

Great features, quality, and a great price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sunpak DF4000U spoils us with a plethora of features at an affordable price. I was surprised to open the box, and find not only a decent carry pouch, but also an omni-bounce diffuser. It's not impressive that these accessories are include, it is impressive that they are included at this price point. The build quality is very good. It feels sturdy. The electronics and wires inside are well secured. I wouldn't expect anything less. Firing at full power in close succession will eventually cause the batteries and flash head to heat up. The flash has thermal sensors, and will display a thermometer on the display when this happens. It will stop firing, but won't overheat or melt. Once it cools down, it start functioning as expected. Flash power is much higher than expected. It's in the same ballpark with much more expensive flashes. It will light up an entire tree, from top to bottom during sunsets to match the brightness of the setting sun. Unfortunately, this unit drives me crazy sometimes. It doesn't have a battery level indicator. I don't like estimating battery level based on how long the flash takes to charge. I much prefer a bargraph, so at one third, I can swap with a fresh set of rechargeables, and not worry about going dry. There's plenty of room on the LCD to add a battery indicator. The lack of one is driving me crazy.
