Customer Review: Great but proprietary
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been using this flash unit with Minolta Dimage 7i and I'm absolutly satisfied.

- This flash is really powerful. The guide number is 185 (feet), it means under the most conditions your can easily shoot for 60 feet in the complete darkness. And it is probably even more important, that it is powerful enough for any kinds of bounce lights.
- Complete integration with the camera. In most cases you don't need to touch any controls on the flash. It automatically adjusts zoom and power level when you change settings on the camera.
- Wireless control. You can disconect the flash and install it somewhere or simply hold it in your hand and without any cables it can communicate with the camera. So you can use your integrated camera flash and this external unit to do some nice fill-ins.
- TTL metering. The flash makes a pre shot to let TTL system figure out what is the best exposure and power level and adjust the camera and the flash before the main shot. Very usefull when you do any bounces or use multiple flashes.
- Very fast! Because it's so powerful even if you set the flash at 1/8 of it's max power, it's still enough light for most scenes. But in this case the flash is ready for the next shot almost immediatly and you don't have to wait till it gets recharged. So far it could keep up with my camera in all situations.

So the flash is really great. The only problem is this is s Minolta proprietary stantard and you have to make sure your camera can utilize all these features.

CL) U) MAXXUM FLASH - 5600HS (D)
The high-performance features of the Minolta Maxxum Flash 5600HS D series include: manual flash control, multiple flash, ratio flash, modeling flash, and low-battery indicator. It has a fully automatic flash sync with speeds all the way up to 1/12,000 seconds and gives you flash coverage ranging from 24-85mm focal lengths. The 5600HS provides you with TTL flash metering as well as automatic shutter sync with flash-ready and exposure confirmation indications in the camera's viewfinder.

This bounce flash rotates its head up to 90 degrees vertically, 90 degrees clockwise, or 180 degrees counterclockwise. To give you even more creative control, it tilts its head by 10 degrees downwards for high-quality images when you shoot close-up photography. The remote sensor function of the 5600HA works when it's used with the Minolta Maxxum 7 as an off-camera flash.
