Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sunpak Super 383 Flash
Customer Review: Very pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Canon S5IS and the on board flash produces red eye. All point and shoot cameras do this. I would have preferred the Canon 430EX flash for through the lens metering. That flash was too expensive for my wallet. I saw the reviews for this flash and bought it. In my house with average size rooms I set the flash to yellow (middle) auto mode and the camera to F4 1/60 shutter speed and 100 ISO. Point the flash to 45° and shoot away. No red eye, very few shadows. The flash is very powerful. The build quality seems good to me. I recommend this flash and don't be intimidated because it is manual. It is very easy to use.Customer Review: Not New

The strobe works as it should. However, the unit I received was supposed to be new. It wasn't. Packaged as new; under the wrappings the control panel on the back of the unit was scratched--it had been used. The cosmetic mars were inconsequential and did not affect performance when used with a hot shoe. Missing in the box was the synch cable. Sunpak uses a proprietary mini plug connector. There should have been a short cable with mini-plug to PC that allows use with other cameras, flashes and triggers. I reported this in previous e-mail to Amazon.Customer Review: Great manual flash for digital cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
I just started a real estate photography business and this is my first external flash. I've used it for just over a month and it does it's job very well.
The price was great compared to one of the proprietary TTL flashes also.
The flash head swivels on two axes so there's no way you can't find the best position.
So far I've used it with an Olympus C-5060 with no problems.
Update: Feb 2nd 2009. My Sunpak Super 383 is still working great. Seems to be bullet proof.
Customer Review: Old school flash but it certainly does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not used an external flash prior to this and I was wondering if I should go with one of the fully automatic modern flashes. But given the price differential the Sunpak was an easy choice.
It can be use in its automatic mode where parameters are set using the table like knobs on the back or it can be use fully manual by just adjusting the flash output level.
Use it to bounce off a ceiling or wall while on camera or get a radio trigger and get the freedom to place it where you want.
Customer Review: Great Flash.....

Bought this 383Super on Amazon and could not be more happy with the result, my Fujifilm S9100 built in flash was a joke, tried a Quantaray QB-350A w/c yielded some good pictures but ended up returning it due to being "underpowered"(still a much better one than the S9100's)The 383Super is just a dream flash! as long as you follow the recomended setting, you'll be amazed by the beautiful and sharp pictures it will provide. Buy it, you won't be sorry, just a note; it's a little heavy though...
