Still getting a hang of it
Used ot for about 3 months now and still getting used to the controls, have been using on manual most of the time and know it could do more but the instructions aren't the best and I need more experience with using flash and with metering. Will work off shoe as a slave to my built in flash.

Poor quality... Broke after 6 months
I was very happy with this product until it broke after six months of LIGHT use. I would recommend to anyone checking the warranty before buying.

Great Value
This is a really good flash for the Sony Alpha DSLR system. It's also a much better value than the Sony branded units. The mid level Sony flash costs $300 and is not as powerful as this one, nor does it have all the functions. While the $600 flash has better functions and is more powerful, this is only $200! If you are thinking about getting a nice flash, get this one! It's made in Japan (not China) and is great for the semi-pro photographer. It's really very powerful! (almost blinding!) I don't regret buying this flash at all. It refreshes really fast, just make sure you have fully charged batteries. Pictures come out spectacular!

2nd shutter curtain does not work with Canon, Master/Slave difficulties
I wanted to save money, so instead of Canon 580 I ordered 2x Sigma. First was not working, so I returned and Amazon flawlessly delivered replacement units. Replacement unit drain batteries when switched off, but again - discovered that after return window.
So ONE OF THREE WORKS and not as expected.Sigma EF-530 DG Super Electronic Flash for Canon DSLR
I did not have occasion to test it properly in time. When I did it now, I am so sorry I didn't do sooner..
1) tilting is locked by 2 buttons, which you are all the time confused which one you have to push to tilt, specially when you want to bounce in vertical position
2) you cannot setup 45 degree angle easily - stops are straight, 60, 75, 90 degrees
3) ETTL Master-Slave does not "copy" settings of the primary unit to slave, so when you zoom on master, slave remains in preset zoom
4) even though I according to manual switched master unit off to use it as controlling unit only, it still flashes
5) MOST IMPORTANT - when you use it with CANON Rebel T1i (500D), flash is not recognized in the camera menu, which means you CANNOT set 2nd curtain - something most of us use in night photography

A surprise quality bargain
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. The photographs I have taken so far are all properly exposed, very bright (appropriately so). I read some reviews regarding the less expensive version of this flash that indicated it underexposed pictures on Canon cameras....not a problem with the Sony. A friend of my bought the version for Nikon cameras, while it doesn't support a wireless functon, she was very happy with its performance. Indeed her and a friend compared photos at a party and the big sigma flash outshined the wimpy on camera flash of her friends more upscale Nikon. (D90).
I was impressed. Buy it now. It is much cheaper and probably just as good as the Sony brand name flash that [...]

Sony Cameras HistorySONY Corporation is a multinational corporation with headquarters in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles and information technology products. The very name “Sony” is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound.
The history of SONY Corporation dates back to the spring of 1946 when an entrepreneur Akio Morita and a promising young engineer Masaru Ibuka opened a modest radio engineering workshop in Tokyo. At that times markets were not abound in technological products; that’s why they were free to develop any direction in electronics. So, as soon as in 1951 Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation have launched Japan's first tape recorder called the Type-G.
The invention of transistor opened new horizons in the world of electronics. In 1957 Telecommunications Engineering Corporation came out with a transistor radio. Though being not the first to do this, it was SONY to make radios commercially successful for the first time. Their serial production was already under the brand SONY, so both the product and the brand won worldwide recognition.
By the 70-s SONY Corporation have become the world’s biggest audio and video equipment manufacturer. In I964 they produced first desk calculator. In 1968 ... More About Sony Cameras |
