great for indoor bounce flash applications. uses camera battery. screws in securely to mount. not that big overall, but lots of power.

Pros:
Better flash
Cons:

A must have for any NEX owner. A big step up from the flash included with the purchase of the camera.

Pros:
More power over kit flash and bouncer
Cons:
Takes some time to cycle and feeds from camera battery
This is a great upgrade for my NEX-5 and my first few flash shots have been absolutely stunning compared to that weak and harsh kit flash. I highly recommend this flash as an addition to your NEX-3, NEX-5, NEX-C3 or NEX-5N.

Pros:
photos look better
Cons:
will not last
unit stop charging after few weeks, annoying since i though the camera was broken and getting frustrated it just didn't allow me to take pictures at all. after i turned off the flash it worked, then put the stock flash and it worked but the HVLF20S does not work or allow to take pictures when the unit is on. in other words this broke after a few weeks. a lot of reviewers are experiencing the same thing here and on amazon. buyer beware

Pros:
The flash allows you to bounce the light for a more natural look
Cons:
Broke too quickly and is a proprietary connection
The Flash decided to stop working in the middle of my sons first birthday party. Sad to say that until today I had nothing but positive things to say about the NEX series.

Pros:
Light, strong flash for it's size.
Cons:
"instant" controls on back
It is MUCH better than the included flash for the NEX-5N. It's just when you want to get creative it would have been nice to have controls on the back of the flash instead of going into the camera's menu and adjusting the metering for the flash. Sometimes, because of those extra steps you lose your moments. But it is definitely a step.
