While I have only taken a few dozen pictures with this flash I have found it to be very easy to use, well constructed, very powerful, and to my surprise, it can be operated wirelessly from my Sony a200. It puts out enough light to blind almost anyone...course with a guide numer of 53 meters...what should one expect. from Amazon.com Though the menu interface is not as nice as others, and the buttons look like they were taken from an 80's era toy, and the fact that the plastic feels cheaper than other brands this flash can hold its own against the best Canon can through at it. I had a 580ex I and while it was nice it weighed about twice as much as this 530 and did not put out a noticeable amount of power beyond this. from Amazon.com First, let me say that I have been a very happy owner of the EF-500 DG Super for over three years now. Besides its tendency to underexpose for about 1/3 of a stop, it has proven to be a reliable and functional unit, very much worth the money. from Amazon.com I had expected big things from this unit (I like Sigma's equipment), but although it was effective in direct flash mode, as soon as I used with a diffuser or in bounce flash mode it just wasn't up to the job. I returned it to Amazon and bought the Canon 580EX-II instead and what a difference! from Amazon.com I had high hopes for this flash considering it's a Sigma and I'm very pleased with the quality of their lenses. I was a little hisitant because of how new Sony Alphas are and skeptical of whether or not one of the first non-Sony flashes would work well on the Alphas. from Amazon.com MY FULL REVIEW FOR THIS CAMERA IS AT THE BOTTOM, THIS IS A RECAP AND REVIEW!!! I ordered this camera on 4-20-09 and finally received a WORKING update on 5-11-09. from Amazon.com I purchased this flash because it was the only one compatible with my Canon EOS 1000D. I've been very pleased with the results. from Amazon.com It's a good flash for the money, especially now since SB-800 is discontinued and SB-900 costs at least twice as much. So, for a about a price of SB-600 you get a flash that has almost all of the features and is even more powerful than SB-800 (from what I see it only lacks PC sync - but I never used it anyway). from Amazon.com I've had this flash for about 45 days, and finally put it through its paces yesterday when I took approximately 600 flash photos at a father/daughter dance. In a little over 90 minutes, the flash happily illuminated some 300 portrait shots using the flash and a MilaGrid BounceGrid II (BG-2) as a diffuser. from Amazon.com Just got this not long ago, Love it... the canon was way to much $$$ IMHO so I went with this Sigma... from Amazon.com
