Neewer TT560
Score: 53/100
Meike MK-320S
Score: 74/100Rankings
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 Neewer TT560 is a budget-friendly manual speedlite with a solid GN38 output and versatile head rotation. Its main trade-offs are the absence of TTL, high-speed sync, and a relatively slow full-power recycle. It is best suited for beginners and hobbyists needing an inexpensive indoor flash.

Professional reviewers consider the TT560 a solid entry-level manual flash, lauding its GN38 power, accurate 5600 K color, and extensive head rotation for creative indoor lighting, while noting its lack of TTL, HSS, and weather sealing makes it less suitable for advanced or outdoor work.
Everyday users commend the flash for its sturdy build, straightforward operation, and good value, especially for indoor portrait and product setups, but repeatedly mention the absence of TTL, slow full-power recycle, and occasional battery life inconsistencies as pain points.
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.
