Pros: | Small, 2xAA, | Cons: | Weak | | Its biggest plus is that its both small and takes only 2 AA batteries to run. Mine came for free with a bundle of lenses and a DOA ZX-50. This flash works and its small size make it an easy carry along. It is high enough to shoot over large hoods and to minimize red eye in direct use. It appears to work well in Program Mode on the Q. It's small size and GN16 makes it a good companion for the Q and the fact that the in camera flash intensity adjustment on the Q appears to work with this flash is a big plus for it. | |

Pros: | Tiny | Cons: | Low power, no automation on modern bodies. | | Really, really small and portable. Nice for product photography with a remote release. Nice for trips when you don't have room for a normal sized flash.
Low powered.

Pros: | small, communicates with K...D series to certain extent | Cons: | Underpowered, only M and P settings | | I have one of these at home. It doesn't get used too often. But when I do my "studio" work, this one is quite good for fill light and so on. On camera it communicates with my K10D to certain extent. F.e. if camera is in Sv mode adjusting the ISO results in automatic change of f stop to correspond with correct exposure when the flash is in P mode.
Other than that. It's quite underpowered. It covers 24mm FOV on APSC. But up to 4-5m it can do the job. So the combination of the size and lack of power makes it good for something like pubs or so.... no too much use otherwise...
