So this doesn't have the fastest action for High speed continuous ut I don't think most people are using this for high speed night shooting anyway. Auto works great and its honestly amazing for the price. I shoot on Canon 6D Mark ii full Fram camera for events and things in the dark. Also use this for portraits in studio or even outdoor settings. Loe it. I have nothing bad to say except, with 4 AA BaTTERIES IT IS FREAKING HEAVY. Hahahaha. But that's it. Greta product and the price is soooo right.
I may buy a second one For weddings and portrait studio work.

Great flash for a great price. I had a photo shoot the next morning in a new state and did not realize that my godox v1 flash had such a low battery. I did not have the charger with me so I stopped at best buy and picked this external flash as a backup. It worked great through the session, it provided great light and it was powered by batteries so I did not need to take time to charge it. Great back up flash for any situation!

For the cost this is a very nice flash. I had debated buying the $400 Nikon flash, but was on a time crunch and it was not in stock. So glad as this saved me quite a bit. The camera remote functions work well and I have not had time to use all it's functions. I am impressed and amazed with its quality! For the beginner it may be all you need and for the professional it would be a great reasonably priced back up.

The Sunpak D4000U does everything the Canon 580EX II Speedlight does at 1/9th the price. I've been using this for over a year with no problems. The owners manual has got to be the worst, most unintelligible one I have ever seen and obviously written by those for whom English is a second language with no proofing from a native English speaker, but the flash works really well. This is the third one I have purchased (just to have as backup, since I use them professionally.)

I'm a little lost on how to use the screen and settings, but I'll get there! Works with my Canon just fine - creates shadows that I've got to learn about but excited to keep using and getting better results!

Reliable, But Gobbles Batteries

I bought two of these to set up a portrait station at an event I was photographing. I knew there would be a lot of people wandering around and didn’t want anyone tripping over the cords of my studio strobes, so these were the smartest option as they’re wireless when hooked up to transceivers. Popped them on a stand with umbrellas and they did their job. They fired reliably and had surprisingly nice color balance. The only negative was that they seemed to gobble batteries far more quickly than my Nikon speedlight (I changed these batteries out twice in six hours). The batteries also overheated easily (the whole unit got very hot) when taking multiple photos in quick succession. Otherwise, these are great and I recommend them. Much cheaper than Nikon, but also lacking a bit of the quality and durability you find in brand name products. Still, these were great and I’ll continue to use them.

Took a while to learn how to use - instructions not great but works well after several you tube video tutorials
