Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Unfortunately, I had ordered this, thinking it was for a Canon body, but I had to return it.
I still got to play around with it, however. The flash was well built, and the built in diffuser pops right out of the front with a bounce card as well. It swivels and bounces well, and feels pretty sturdy in your hands, considering its only $130. The zoom on it works quickly when I messed with the zoom settings on the back of the unit. The display lights up clearly and is easy to see.
The charging noise is quite LOUD however. Can get very obnoxious, and would definitely get the dogs running out of the room howling. I guess you get what you pay for.
Wish I could have used it to review it's auto settings, TTL, etc. Oh well. Time to send it back and look for a different flash.
Not gonna bother reviewing the batteries, or external diffuser or lens kit. Those are self explanatory.
