Originally posted by pakuchn I'm not an expert, but when getting a flash between Pentax AF360FGZ and AF540FGZ, what type of questions should I ask myself to determine which flash is best for me.
Main use: family events. I'm not a pro, this is just as a hubby
If you do lots of indoor shots and use the portrait format (I mean holding
the camera sideways), you would want to get a 540. 540, unlike 360, has
the swivel function and allows for the bounce flash in the portrait format.
I recently bought an used 540 because of this reason although I have two
360 flashes. I am really liking my 540 on my K20D. The only drawback,
well besides the high price tag, is that this flash is too big for smaller
bodies like K-x and K-m.
