does the EF-X20 Flash work with the Sony A7R?

I have had substantially better battery life than that with my copy and Eneloop NiMH batteries. However the flash will definitely not work in TTL mode except with a Fuji camera. Slave mode will definitely work fine, and probably manual mode as well.

I can not answer that specific question but I was compelled to write... I have not had much success with the EF-X20 Flash in one regard. It works fine, but it eats batteries like crazy. Really... it seems that I get only 10-20 shots out of a set of AAA batteries. Not happy about that.

Thank you ... definitely a deal breaker there ... will look for another option

Amazon is shipping a canon/nikon compatible unit instead of the sony. The picture will look correct an the description also, but I ordered two on different occasions and received a canon/nikon compatible on both occasions. I'd suggest you get it from eBay instead. I think the problem is with the new sony 7r, that has a different mount from what you have on the a300. Hope this helps.

Hi Patricia, Sony RMTDSLR2 Remote Commander is compatible on the Sony A7M2 Camera. -Vincent

I used it on a Sony E mount which was APC Sensor - I believe the A7r is E mount but a Full Frame Sensor so I am not sure. Perhaps you can contact Fotodiox direct they should know.

You should confirm with Sony, but yes they are compatible. The past concern was with the proprietary hot shoe. Sony has since followed the standard hot shoe interface and this is no longer an issue. This flash works fine on my A7.

It should because the A7R works with e mount lenses. Keep in mind that this adapter was made to work on cropped sensor cameras and use cropped sensor canon lenses so you might not get the result you want on your full frame sensor.

It will work, but you may have to attach the HVL-43m to camera first. Repeat if flash goes into sleep mode. Newer Sony flashes do not have this issue. I own the Sony a7r, two HVL-58's and one HVL42. The HVL42 needs to be attached to camera first. Radio trigger can be on camera, attach flash, turn flash on. Remove and attach receiver to flash. Repeat if flash goes into sleep mode. You must have the adapter to use this flash with Sony a99 and any sony a7's.

According to the Sony website the A3000 has a multi interface (MI) hot shoe and this flash is the only one listed as compatible with that camera.

I have just tested it to see if it would work with my a77 and even then only checked the shutter activation, there are many more functions which I haven't taken time to test. As to the Sony DSC - HX300 you'd be better off checking the compatibility of the RC by typing the RC's model number and searching the camera's compatibility listing. I've found that usually the Sony brand name accessories seem to work with Sony Cameras, however there maybe some features that are redundant and not found with your camera. I found that typing your camera's model number in the Sony web site then ask for accessories then search for the RC. My a77 was shipped with a tiny RC that works just fine with the camera and it is a shutter release only function. If your camera has movie capabilities this RC does have the movie functions on it which makes it a nice feature if you wish to hook the camera directly to your TV through the hdmi port as it allows you to stop, play, FF, etc. It's a nice RC and easy to use though probably easy to lose. The price is reasonable and most purchases can be returned if it is incompatible with your camera. Good luck.

Yes the 5600 HD does work with the A77. It works both on camera and off as a wireless flash.

The F58 and the A65 are 100% compatible. The problem is that the F60 has a different shoe because Sony changed it last year ( a mistake in my opinion) and so, the flash shoes on cameras and flashes also changed. The A65 uses the now "old" flash shoe.You can use the F60 with the A65, but you requiere a flash shoe adapter sold by Sony.Don't rely too much on Sony's sites for accurate info. More frequent than not, the info on them is wrong and incomplete.Hope this helps.DRN

Its independent of what type of camera you use, you can use whit your Sony A7R whit out care.

They changed the hot shoe for the flash to an industry standard hot shoe. I dont know what hot shoe the a65 uses but if it is the old traditional "sony" hot shoe it wont work. Everything else from my a77 is directly compatible though. Batteries, lenses, memory cards...

Yes it is. The A58 uses the newer MIS shoe, which is what the HVLF43M has. The M, alone on the end indicates that the flash is for the MIS shoe. If you want the older Sony Alpha style show look for the HVL-F43AM (Note the AM)

Actually this camera only takes Compact flash. You can buy a separate MS Pro Duo to CF adapter if you want, but it does not come with the kit anymore. This also applies to the A300-A350 as well. Its a shame sony no longer supplies the adapter anymore. The adapter retails for 60 dollars itself, which is just plain crazy.

You can use a radio trigger for the NEX3... does not work with the a7r as due to sonys not willing to ad a Multi-Terminal adapter-cable with an 2.5mm Jack to remote-trigger the camera with everything on the market. Vice-Versa; remote triggering external studio flashes. But I guess the NEX3 has the other plug of these images,is that right? I know there is an option out there to use a radio trigger. These always work instantly. as a cable would be added.

Yes, according to Sony most features of the HVL-F43AM are compatible with the A58. http://www.sony-asia.com/support/resources/en_AP/html/Compatibility/DSLR/Flash/sony/F43AM.html
