Meike MK-320S
Score: 74/100
Godox GN33
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Meike MK-320S is an ultra-compact Sony-compatible TTL speedlite delivering a strong 32 m guide number, HSS, optical wireless and a built-in LED modeling light. Battery-driven operation leads to slower recycle and limited runtime, and the fixed beam angle restricts coverage. Perfect for travel and portrait photographers needing a pocket-size flash with full TTL functionality.
The Godox TT520III provides an affordable, compact flash with 33 m guide number and built-in 433 MHz wireless triggering. It lacks TTL, high-speed sync and a built-in diffuser, limiting its use for advanced lighting setups. Suited for budget-conscious DSLR shooters needing a portable fill flash and basic wireless capability.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers commend the MK320S for packing a robust feature set-TTL, HSS, stroboscopic up to 500 Hz, and optical wireless-into an ultra-compact, metal-body flash, noting its intuitive LCD and USB-Micro charging as strong value points, while flagging its fixed beam angle and lack of radio wireless as notable trade-offs.
Everyday users consistently praise the flash's portability, surprising power output, even lighting and ease of use for beginners, especially the TTL auto mode and LED assist, but they commonly complain about the rapid drain of AA batteries, slower recycle speed, limited head rotation, and occasional overheating in high-frequency strobe use.
