KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING! Althopugh I have problems with this flash I give it no less than 4 stars overall. This is why: I originally purchased this for my wife's Canon XSi. I quickly found out (to her joy and my dismay) that this flash will NOT WORK on some of Canon's more advanced and recent equipment. I own a T3i and discovered that while the flash would work fine with my T3i on MANUAL, it did not otherwise communicate with my camera's ETTL-II. I emailed Sigma support (who BTW is VERY good at responding to customers) and they confirmed that this older model may not work as expected with later model Canons. Actually, it apparently WORKS GREAT with earlier Canon DSLR's. So b/c of its performance with earlier Canon models and b/c of Sigma's product support folks, I give it a 4.
This flash is great with just two flaws. One is that the flash has just a little wobble when it is mounted to the camera. the other is that you need to make sure that every time you turn on your camera you go to the camera menu and select ADI flash. This will help with concistancy as I noticed that sometimes the exposure would be off till I manually selected ADI. Other than that for the price you will be thrilled. The built in diffuser works perfect for fill flash and the bounce flash make natural looking photos taken indoors. buy it if you can!
I decided to buy this flash for off camera use. so far i've only used it to test it. i believe it is a good flash, although, i can't really test it thoroughly, and the manual doesn't help much. it does work off camera via cord. it has manual mode, and ettl on camera. unfortunately, there is too much to learn, in so little time of writing this review.
