The Sunpak 544 is an older, mounted-style flash unit. Taking photos with it can dramatically improve your images by adding dynamic light and making your subject "pop" from the background. While this model will still be effective, only use a flash unit if it is compatible with your camera. Incompatible voltages can render the camera and flash useless. Check with your camera manufacturer if the Sunpak 544 is compatible.
