Sony HVL-F60RM2 -salamavalo

Ordered from jessops a sony camera a7iv and lenses. After one use the camera developed a fault and would not upload the latest software and displayed this warning all the time when I use. I contacted jessops and after some haggling they agreed to pay the return delivery cost. They will not replace the camera they will only repair it through Sony. This repair process will take a number of weeks and there is no possibility for priority service. After spending £6k in total including the lenses I am left with the high chance that I will not have the camera in time for a once in a lifetime trip to New York with my family. In addition the Sony cash back process is very long winded and slow to respond to emails. This has not been a great experience so far.

Added to my smaller flash gives me better versatility..

Easy to use and set up, and wish i had made the move quicker got a great price from David at Carlisle Sony Centre ordered one day and received the next, will be using again due to my local Sony Store closing ....highly recommend and great customer service.

The HVL F600RM2 is a superb powerful flash gun. It is easy to operate and illuminates portraits and groups evenly. It has a useful built in wide panel and bounce sheet - although they can be a bit fiddly to extract. There is a separate diffuser and a couple of colour filters. There is an off camera stand which sits snugly in a pouch in the case. It is a shame the case doesn't fully accommodate the flash gun with the diffuser in place. Which is a surprising corner cut by Sony for such a high end product. I would have liked more robust padding on the case and an external loop for attaching to a camera bag or belt would be a useful addition. Given the power of the gun you need to be aware that it gets through batteries at a rate of knots and I would recommend a couple of sets of rechargeables.

Owned now for a few months and it is fantastic! Total integration and built for the Sony - nothing will work this well. I returned some off-make gear that felt a little cheap, so glad I splashed out on this - amazing bit of kit! Highly recommended!
