Great flash unit,
Works flawlessly with the Canon 7D. Wireless function is fantastic; no need to buy a wireless transmitter if you own a 7D. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.

|Great flash, better price,
EDIT: With moderate use the zoom feature stopped working on this flash unit. My local camera store sent it out for me to sigma for a replacement. I am glad it has a 3 year warranty.
Compares to canon’s 500 buck 580EX. Has high speed synch, multi-flash (strobe) manual, ETTL, auto zoom, slave mode, very quiet charge, seems rugged, although large. Can be used as a wireless master flash. Comes with a protective pouch and a stand for the flash in slave-mode (with 1/4-20 threads)I could not get the slave mode to cooperate with my cameras built in flash (ttl on camera pre-flashes for a milisecond to get light reading, triggering slave early)but i also really didnt try or read the manual. However it worked perfect with an external flash to trigger. Flash is VERY powerful and in most cases charges back up instantly. Has a built in diffuser panel also.

|Looks good on paper,
I got this flash because it seemed to be a bargain that achieves similar performance to the SB900.
At this point I don’t see it as a bargain anymore and it actually is frustrating to use as I bought two SB600s from a local Best Buy who still had them for MSRP which is less than this.
Cons:
Power output is no way the one that it states as the SB600 is brighter for me at faster sync rates.
TTL which should be iTTL for the Nikon version does not work right. Most of the time it just throws out what seems to be a blast of Gamma radiation overexposing everything in close proximity.
Takes very long to recharge. A big reason is probably that it throws more light than it needs to so it has to go through a whole cycle.
Loud
Looks cheap and it’s abnormally bulky.
You have to put it in the hot-shoe to choose the slave wireless TTL function.
Doesn’t remember your settings after turning it off so you have to put it back int he hot shoe to use as a slave.
It doesn’t fire off in wireless slave mode half the time.
The AF-assist illuminator is really weak and camera can’t focus.
Pros: none
Long story short, I’m returning it.
