MEIKE MK-320S Mini TTL Speedlite Automatic Flash for Sony MI Hot Shoe DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras A7 A7II NEX6 A6000 A6300 A6500

My Sony HVL-20, being plastic, broke. It is quite fragile. Meike 320 flash unit is stronger (32 GN ISO vs 20), takes two AA batteries (vs HVL20's two AAA), recycles much faster, has a nice LCD on the back, can charge those AA batteries with micro USB, has a lot of buttons, plastic cap-hood, while maintaining about the same size, and being twice cheaper. There are downsides/nitpicking - I really like that HVL20 be turned on by just raising it from horizontal position to vertical - simplicity, and HVL20 is just tiny bit more compact. But otherwise Meike (Neweer too) is a solid choice.

Compact size, yet bright! Have not learned the different settings yet. I'm a beginner in photography, but I was able to use it right out of the box. Automatically adjusted to my Sony a6000 for some immediate pictures! No regrets with my purchase!

Actually a surprisingly good flash for the price. Well-made, and very low-profile so ti is a good, balanced for for the Sony NEX/a6000/a6300/a6500 - it works well with those camera without feeling like the flash is too large. Pros: - decent flash output (though I think the published guide number (GN) is not accurate - still, this would be good for fill flash bouncing in a small room, and is definitely a BIG step up over the on-camera flash on the Sony cameras); - solid construction; - small size, light-weight and low power consumption (2 AA batteries); - intuitive to operate; - has an LED video light (though probably not powerful enough to work as a true modelling light if shooting through a light modifier); - a lot of bang of bang for your buck, especially as an alternative to the weaker - yet still significantly more expensive - Sony-branded flashes like the HVL-F20. Cons - things that will hold you back if you plan to get into more advance flash techniques): - again not as powerful as published GN would indicate (but still fairly close to third party flashes of similar size, such as the Godox TT350s, which similar overstates its GN a bit - but bear in mind that the Godox is about 50% higher in price); - no HSS (high-speed sync) - limited to max flash shutter speed on camera (for my a6300, this is 1/160); - does not rotate far enough to do over-the-shoulder bouncing or bouncing to the left; you are basically stuck with bouncing off the ceiling or, at most, 90 degrees to the right (cannot bounce 90 degrees to the left - more like 45 degrees to the left, so you would be getting as much direct flash on your subject as you would be bouncing).

Just received mine, the battery compartment latch broke the first time i opened it. I taped the compartment shut a took a couple dozen pics. Seems to work well for indoor use. Returning it to amazon and buying another one. ******Updated****** Received the replacement the next day. Amazon provided free overnight to the locker i use. Flash seems to work good though i am no expert in camera flashed. I just needed a compact flash that provided more than the Sony A6000 built in flash. Longer lenses obscure part of the flash and leave a shadow over the pic. This lens works even with my Sony PZ 18-105 (my favorite lens) Went from 3 stars to 5 stars

This is an excellent, medium-intensity flash, quite compact and easy to bring along without filling gear bags, etc. Great value HOWEVER: While it is compatible with two of my older digital cameras, it DOES NOT WORK with a Sony alpha7RIII ! If you take flash picture, the camera will give a "cannot display" error message. However, the photo is still stored. You just can't see it on the camera, but can after you plug the card into a computer. Not a good thing. The SONY people were wonderful, trying to get this to work, but it doesn't on this camera.

Listen. If you want a fantastic compact speedlite for your Sony A series, this is it. It's not going to compete with a full size flash, but of you want an upgrade from the built-in this is it. Love the LED video light function. The screen's back light is great. The included diffuser fits well. The bounce and swivel click nicely. The whole flash is built well. If you use rechargeable li-ion AA's (2 required, not included) you can charge the flash via the micro USB port *SUPER CONVENIENT!*. TTL and Manual functions work great. Buy this flash!

The flash works very well and is powerful enough for macro photography. I was happy with my experience until it stopped letting me control the power of the flash, either under exposing to black or over exposing to completely white when using TTL and manual mode. This occured after I received an overheating error when using the flash in temperatures outside nearing 100 degrees F. I would try a different compact flash, but this one offers all of the features I need In a flash. I will be sure not to operate my new on in hot weather and in direct sunlight again.

I tried it as soon as I received and for the Sony A6000 THIS is the perfect flash. I have a larger unit with all the whistles ad bells, but it looks just silly. It's larger than the camera. This has all features and is compact enough for carrying around.

The flash is very compact yet decently powerful which is the main reason that I got it. Overall, the functioning is satisfactory. Flash distance is around 5 meters, after which it becomes too faint to have any effect. Two issues: 1. It is extremely tight on my Sony A6600. It is difficult to fit it in and even more difficult to take it out. I am worried that I need to apply too much force that the mount would be damaged. 2. TTL doesn't seem to work well. Manual mode yields better result.

Llevo poco más de un mes con el y dejo de funcionar, parece que un bulbo se quemo o algo similar, si buscan comprar un flas recomiendo ahorrar e invertir en un que asegure su buen funcionamiento.

IF a compact, light, powerful, and reliable low-profile external flash is what you're looking for then this MEIKE MK320 for SONY is it! I did a lot of research before purchasing this flash in addition to trying this out along with a few other SONY's including the HVL-F20M. I have to say this blew away my expectations especially for the price, and style: saving over $150 CAD price difference compared to the SONY F20. I was looking for a flash that was more direct, and this is it. For the reviews that say this flash doesn't sync with the newer SONY cameras... IT DOES! Not sure why some camera users had this problem but TTL works with this lens and my new SONY A7IV 2022; it will display and read the f-stop in the camera directly on the LCD display of the flash and sync with the camera. Highly recommend!

Small, light and effective. Purchased for macro shots based on review by Micael Widell. Worked great for portraits on Sony A6000 and A7M2. Looking forward to using for intended macro shots in the near future.
