Summary

I've had my Sony DSC-F828 camera for about 6 months now, and FINALLY the HVL-F32X became available. The HVL-F32X flash is compatible with a number of Sony digicams, but it is advertised as more highly integrated with the upper line DSC-F828, as it...

Strength

Weakness

Does not support TTL as advertised, fires a pre-flash instead. Expensive.
