Expert Review Analysis

The Westcott FJ80 II is a universal 80Ws touchscreen speedlight updated in 2024, offering 9‑stop power control, up to 20 fps burst, and a 328‑ft wireless range. It combines multi‑brand TTL compatibility with a removable 11.1 V lithium‑ion battery delivering over 500 full‑power flashes.

✓ Best for: Hybrid shooters who require a universal TTL speedlight for events, weddings, or portrait work, especially those needing fast recycle (0.05‑1.5 s), high‑speed sync up to 1/8000 s, and reliable 328‑ft wireless control for off‑camera setups.✗ Not ideal for: Photographers who rely on full Sony TTL integration, users seeking an ultra‑lightweight on‑camera flash, or those who need a built‑in flash zoom without additional modifiers.

Pros

✓Battery delivers over 500 full‑power flashes per charge, providing extended shooting sessions without frequent recharging.
✓Universal TTL compatibility works with six major camera brands, allowing seamless integration across Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus.
