The Sunpak Digital Camera Flash Adapter is designed to let you use most existing shoe-mount flashes with virtually any compact digital and film camera that has a built-in flash even those with no flash shoe. The adapter has its own bracket and ergonomically contoured grip with built-in slave trigger. The slave sensor has 5 LED-indicated button-selected mode settings enabling it to synchronize with cameras using a wide variety of pre-flash and multiflash redeye-reduction systems. Ordinary slave units do not synchronize properly with digital cameras because digital cameras use very rapid series of pre-flashes which prematurely trigger a conventional slave. There are many of these products upon the market but the Sunpak Digital Camera Flash Adapter has been tested at B&H and can be characterized as a relative value.  It is inexpensive and usually works (will not sync with Sony SLR cameras' popup flashes) though the range of the slave is quite short.  Accepting any flash you have handy is certainly a strong suit.  Looking at it another way a generic L-bracket doesn't cost much less and this offers an added advantage that could prove to make an average image stellar.

Sunpak Digital Camera Flash Adapter

"I now can use three of my flash units that were strictly 35mm type with my Canon A75. Works with a Quanteray 9500 multiple-contact dedicated flash also. To use outdoors, in dark painted rooms, or in auditoriums, place a finger alongside the front-mounted slave sensor to reflect some flash into the sensor. Be sure to check the recommended f-stop of your flash unit and sync with with your digital camera's setting...." Read Full Review »

A PC Hole is a Must for Off-Camera Photo

"I am a Sony DSC-W1 camera owner. The camera is great. The only drawback of the camera is lack of flash adaptor and PC hole. Althought I pay little for purchasing this camera rather than a Digital Single Lens Sony A-100, I do expect it gives me more convenience. Once I get used to the camera, I find it cannot fulfill my requirement to use two flash-guns to give a shadowless picture. Especially the flash-gu..." Read Full Review »

Low cost fills the need

★★★★★
5.0

    Pros

  • Easy To Use
  • Improves Performance
  • Lightweight
  • Quality Construction
  • Woks with old Sunpak 322

    Cons

  • None

    Best Uses

  • Shooting Indoors
  • Travel
 

"Chose the right setting for your flash from the 5 provided by a small switch. It will allow the addition light output needed for indoor use such as a wedding reception hall. The only improvement would be if the bracket folded instead of clipped apart. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Erratic behavior limits its usefulness

"The sensor on this slave has a very limited angle of view aswell as unpredictable sensitivity. If the subject is closeor highly reflective, you must use setting 2 so the preflashdoesn't trigger it. If the subject is more than 20 feetaway, the preflash isn't powerful enough to trigger it, andyou mu …"  Read Full Review »
