Just want to know how each individual use your flash?

All the KM/Sony flash... 3rd party also

1) Battery Difference?
2) Power (not using full flash) difference?
3) External battery pack (self made, EP-2, etc)
Everyone know how to take sharp photos with good lens, but do u know how to take good blur photos with fantastic lens?

I have not been using my 5600 for almost 1 years for important events or job since i switch my batteries to eneloop. And have been using the 5400 with eneloop and it recycle even faster.

The 5400's TTL is not workable on 7D and later camera, which means it won't work on Alpha as well.

What I use on the 5400 is that i attach a white "diffuser" at the flash head and shoot with only 1/2 flash (as i go close for most of the time during shoot).

When i did the same setting on the 5600, the recycle time is the slightly faster by 2s, which "war is over" by the time its ready. Due to the TTL is "digital" the output is usually off....

What i mean on faster:

5400 - out of 5 con't shoot with flash, the 4th shot is without flash, the 1-3 and the 5th shot are with flash and the flash are constant power

5600 - out of 5, only the 1st and the 4th is with flash and something only 1st and 5th and if its on the 4th, the flash is less than 1/2 power if on the 5th, its about 3/4 power

I am giving up the 5600 soon............. on the selling bay..... someone convince me to keep this flash....
