Battery life (using rechargable AAA's) was surprisingly good. I took over 200 photos some with bounce over a few hours and didn't have any issues with battery life. Illumination is good, much much superior to built in flash on my a6000. I was shooting in a large room. No one complained about burned retina's, didn't see a lot of red eye even though I didn't have the red eye feature turned on. Very Effective. Yes, I'd buy another one. No need to spend $400 on a big flash unless you have professional needs.

Does a decent job for a relatively small flash and lowish price. Works fine for indoor or occasional use.
Would have preferred it to take larger AA batteries, because they provide power for a longer period than AAA batteries, but the two AAA batteries last a for a reasonable amount of shooting time.
Works effectively as a wireless trigger for other off-camera flashes.
The build quality seems a little flimsy, the diffuser direct/bounce slider switch especially so. The flash is turned on/off by rotating the unit upwards. This means that there is no flexibilty in turning the flash sideways or varying the angle of pitch, hence the 3 star rating.
After a few weeks with the flash have decided to upgrade to 4 stars. The flash works well with my Sony A7 and the bounce flash images are very pleasing.

Fits perfectly on the built-in shoe on my Sony Nex-6 camera. Great flash. I leave it on my camera at all times. Battery life is satisfactory.
I bought it to correct the shadow which the Sony Alpha SEL18200 E-mount 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Lens created when attached to my NEX-6 camera.

After trying numerous small size flashes from here on Amazon, I finally had to get the official Sony one for my new Sony A7R.
Previously ordered small flashes and tried with the Sony A7R:
Bower SFD450C Digital e-TTL II Dedicated Autofocus Illuminator for Canon XT/XS/30D/60D/T2i/T3/T5i/1D/5D Mark III/6D/7D/SL1 and Similar DSLRs (Black)
Sunpak RD2000C Camera Flash
I was looking for just a simple small flash to fit on the tiny A7R body and both the Bower and Sunpak delivered on the size but not the functionality. The Sony HVLF 20M lacks any sort of manual controls on the flash (what I really wanted) but is compatible with the new A7R's MI shoe and isn't overly bulky. I've used a Yongnuo 560 II flash and a true Canon 600 EX-RT and both work fine in the hot shoe - they're just as big as the Sony A7R camera is itself.
The HVLF 20M with the MI designation works in Sony's new Multi-Interface shoe which is on the A7R, and while limited in functions it at least provides a good compact flash solution. You can only use the flash in Direct or Bounce mode, which just tilts the flash head slightly upwards to not be quite as harsh. If the head swiveled this would be a perfect flash but alas you just have a slightly better than pop-up flash solution for over a hundred dollars... thanks Sony. The flash is not really that powerful at all, it only runs on 2x AAA batteries which saves the weight and size but sacrifices the power output to GN 20 (about half power of a full power flash like the Canon 600 EX-RT which most websites cite as GN 60 though this is a moving value based on flash zoom and bounce).
Overall happy to finally have some sort of flash for the A7R. Wish it had a rotating flash head for the price but it's better than nothing.

Works Pretty Well - But Lacks Some Key Features. It's a great size and can fold flat whilst on the camera - so it's very portable.
I can keep it on the camera (Sony A6000) in the zoom bag (with the zoom - 18-105 F4).
It's much stronger than the camera flash (obviously) good for group shots to about 25 feet. Downside is that it doesn't swivel and doesn't zoon, so it's quite restricted.

Works perfectly on my NEX 6. Ideal when I use longer lens and need some additional light. Very small and light to carry; I am using two rechargeable AA baterries.

I bought this for use on my Sony SLT- A99V since it doesn't have a pop up flash and I didn't want to use an adapter to run one of my other flashes from my older, non-MI shod, Sony Alpha A700 camera. This flash will still work as a wireless flash controller for those flashes and is perfectly sized for the missing pop up flash on the A99. I like how it folds flat over the top of the camera when turned off and doesn't add all the bulk the larger flashes do. I run the vertical battery grip on all of my cameras and any help in reducing the sheer size is greatly appreciated. The flash has both the bounce capability and built in diffuser of Sony's larger flashes and something thats not available on a pop up flash without adding third party gizmo's to the mix. The reasons for the four star rating are the lock on the shoe mount and the AAA battery choice for powering the flash. I haven't had any problems with the twist down shoe lock yet but the lever lock on the HVLF60M would have made for a faster and more secure connection between the flash and camera. I do realize the GN20 flash rating on this unit isn't the battery hog of it's larger brothers but it's just another type of battery I have to make sure I have spares of in the camera bag when I leave the house and I already have an over abundance of gear filling my bag. All in all I really like this 'nice little flash' and the two items I'm not impressed with don't make it a deal breaker to keep and use in my Sony Alpha camera kit.

needed a better flash but small enough to still keep my gears compact on a trip. Still have to use it mor extensibly before sharing experience, so it could be another star.

This is a great little flash. I use it on my Sony A6000 and it's surprisingly good. Cycles in about 1 sec and it's powered by 2 AAA batteries. Some people may complain that there is no on/off switch. When the flash is up, it's on. When it's flat light a right angle, it's off. That too bothered me when I ordered it, but I figured out a work around. If you leave the flash in the on (up) position while mounted on your camera, and then turn off the camera, the power on the flash will go off as well even though it's officially in the "on" position. The reason this is good is that now it's off and flat so that it can fit into a camera bag better. If you use the Think Tank Mirrorless mover bags, this will fit perfectly into the iPhone pocket. Great little flash and gets the job done for those occasional fill flash moments.

Nice flat flash that you can take along in your pocket. It worked great with my SONY NEX-6.
I gave it 4 stars because of the on off mechanism. I really would have preferred a normal switch. The thing turns on when you pivot the main part up. Although it seems like a cool idea, the thing I liked most about this unit was that it was compact and flat. But the OFF position requires that the hot shoe mount be 90 degrees from the main flash body. So to keep the thing off, you ruin it's beautiful compact flatness!!!
On the plus side, the few times the shoe pivoted in my pocket (thereby turning on), it didn't seem to drain the battery. Maybe keeping it flat (and permanently on) won't leave you flash less. I'm just guessing - will have to test this theory.

I have a SONY FDR-AX100 and all the notes on the web seem to indicate that you cannot use a SONY flash with it, or any flash without an adapter but only the HVL-LEIR1 lamp. Having purchased all three, I can now confirm that the HVL-F20M flash does work directly with the FDR-AX100 without an adapter. My FDR-AX100 does have the latest V2.00 firmware upgrade.

Great went thru 3 other cheap brands before buying OEM. Well worth the extra price if you have a sony camera. Flash syncs with shoe adaptor and turns off automatically when camera is off.

Wanted a small flash for my full frame Sony A7 and this flash works perfectly every time!
Small and perfect for fill flash - I'd buy another in a minute~ highly recommended.
(Has a bounce & direct flash mode with a switchable diffuser- very handy.)

This flash has been fired less than 25 times and it already doesn't work. It is in perfect condition and has been sitting in the storage bag on my desk the entire time I've owned it (about 4 months) other than pulling it out for a couple of birthday parties. For $150 I would think I would get just a bit more use out of it. I don't know if I was sent a lemon by the seller or if it's typical of this flash. What I do know is that I'm out a hundred and fifty bucks and have no flash to show for it.

The batteries do not last long and weakened to the point flash is delayed and doesn't fire to light shot.
Flash is poorly constructed, easy to break. The first flash I bought was damaged beyond repair while attached to camera due to slight bump. On the positive side it is small and light and perfect size for sony A 7. Next size up makes camera top heavy and adds to weight of camera. Pity Sony can devise a lightweight flash that is quick to fire and has some extended life. I would not recommend this.

I purchased this primarily to wirelessly trigger HVL-F60 flashes via an s99 camera, which it does well (when the f60 flashes aren't overheating, but that's in my review of them). The side benefit is that when out-and-about it works as the missing pop-up flash for the a99. Since Canon released the original 5D, camera manufacturers seem intent on impressing upon the public the false notion that a pop-up flash is not for "professional" cameras. Well, I sometimes use my professional equipment for non-professional shoots and I appreciate the convenience of having a small flash for some fill or bounce light. This little flash works as a great pop-up flash replacement and it's perfect for keeping in one's bag when traveling and keeping the equipment to a minimum.
The price is high for what it is / does. If it were priced below $100 I'd be tempted to rate it 5 stars for the value proposition. One other improvement I would have liked is to have the locking mechanism of the larger f60 flash - I've never been a fan of the wheel lock. I do appreciate the multi-interface shoe of this flash (as opposed to the f20AM - which has the older minolta iISO hot shoe). I can use this flash on the RX100 II, some of the newer NEX cameras and the new a7 / a7R bodies - finally one connector to rule them all (though it would be nice if Sony would use more metal and less plastic in the shoe connector of the accessories).

It works great with Sony A7. I would give it 5 stars if adding On/Off button instead of flipping it up (vertically) or down (horizontally) to turn it On or Off which creates a storage problem when taking it off the camera because you would have to remove the batteries if it's in "up" (on) position just to turn it off!

Works OK, and the design is quite innovative. However, it feels a little flimsy, and you cannot store it flat (unless you remove the batteries) because this switches it on. It does the job as a low-end bounce flash.

When I received my A7R I started using the $540.00 Sony HVL60M flash I purchased for my a99. While there isn't a better flash on the market and I use it on my A7R for tripod shots indoors, the size and weight of the HVL60M, overpowers the A7R when used for hand-held shots, especially when traveling. At $162.00, the HVLF20M was too good a deal to pass up. I've just returned from a trip and the HVL20M performed perfectly. Sony positions it as a parallel to a pop-up flash and I have to agree. When mounted on the A7R and in its upright position, the HVL20M's off/on mode is controlled by the camera's on/off switch. When folded into its a position that's parallel to the lens, the flash is always off. The flash can be easily adjusted to regular and telephoto, straight or bounce. Finally; unlike the 4 AA batteries needed to run every-other Sony flash, the HVLF20M runs on just 2 AAA's
