Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Enhance Your Sony DSLR Experience with the Sigma EF-610 DG ST Electronic Flash by Savoeun Ramirez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good flash but had to return due to communication problems with my Sony SLT-A57 camera

Really liked this flash but two of these had to be returned due to communication problems with my Sony SLT-A57 camera. Flash seemed well built, powerful, and profitable. It was even made in Japan instead of China. But the flash lost contact with my camera after about 50 shots or so. I even returned the flash and got a new one, but the new one had the same problem. The problem was that after about 50 shots, the flash would not fire when the camera shutter was released. The flash-ready indicator in the camera's viewfinder also does not show that the flash is ready. At first I thought the flash was overheating, but it still fired when I pressed the "test" button on the flash. The flash still zoomed in and out when I zoomed in, so there was still some communication between the camera and the flash, but no "take picture". I ended up paying a lot more money for the HVL-F43AM flash, but Sony did a much better job with my camera.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Can be damaged
