I was very happy with everything that was in the kit except for the quick charge battery charger. The battery charger was a piece of junk. Shortly after plugging it into the wall outlet the charger became very hot and so were the batteries. I quickly unplugged the unit and pulled the batteries out of the charger. Later I finished charging the batteries in a slow charger and they were fine. I have only had one opportunity to use the flash unit. The 580EX II worked with no problems. I simply attached it to the hotshoe on my Canon 40D and placed the plastic diffuser over it and took a time delayed photo of myself. I made no adjustments for the flash either in the camera or on the flash unit. I just put the batteries into the unit and it was ready to go to work. I haven't used the bracket adapter, that offsets the flash, but it seems that it should work just fine. It seems like it mounts to the tripod mount on the camera. And then it looks as though the bracket could then be attached to a tripod if desired. Adorama can keep those battery chargers.

Digital Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Household Plug Review

It works great. It is smaller and lighter than other manufacturers versions. It is also less expensive than the Pocket Wizards that I see many photographers using. I have used it on my Canon cameras with Norman (2000 and 800) and Novatron (440) power packs and have had no problems. It is great not tripping over wires anymore. My tripping over a "sync" cord and breaking a camera is what made me invest in this item.

The MicroSync Digital is the smallest smartest wireless solution for firing strobes and cameras.The Freedom of Wireles:Whether your'e shooting in the studio or on location, firing your strobes with a sync cord can be impractical, inconvenient, and sometimes even impossible. Not ant more! The MicroSync Digital wireless strobe sync system allows you to fire strobes wirelessly. So liberate yourself from the limitations of your sync cord.Ultra Small, Light and Convenient:The MicroSync Digital is revolutionary because it is super minature, extremely lightweight, and almost operates itself. Just place the transmitter in the hotshoe of your camera, plug the receiver into your strobe's powerpack and fire! Its that easy.Automatic Power Management:The MicroSync Digital has a unique automatic on/off power management system. There are no on/off switches on the transmitter or the receiver. When you press the shutter the transmitter turns itself on, sends the signal to the receiver, then turns itself off- all in milliseconds. Because of this advanced power management system, the battery life of the coin cell in the transmitter is anticipated to be 3 years.Four Channels:There are four channels on the MicroSync Digital to allow you to shoot without interference from other MicroSync users in close proximity.

I just received this battery pack along with the appropriate cable for my Nikon D80 DSLR and and external flash (SB-600). The SB-600 doesn't have a jack for battery packs like the SB-800 does but this battery pack and the cable work beautifully. I was tired of running out of battery power with the 4 AA's that the speedlight holds and having to constantly switch them out. This battery pack lets me keep firing away and the quick recycle time for the flash is an added bonus!
Basically, the battery pack attaches to the bottom of the camera using the tripod mount. It does add some good weight to the camera when attached. The cable runs from the battery pack, to the speedlight to provide power. Yesterday, I shot over 200 pics, all with the flash unit and I had plenty of power and the flash recycles nice and quickly.

Lightweight and Compact Digital Canon Dslr Flash Review

Lightweight and Compact Digital Canon Dslr Flash
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently upgraded from the Canon S5 IS to the SX 10 IS and bought this Sunpak not for the extra flash range, but simply to take that task from the camera, and quicken / improve the recycle time (and increase battery life). My primary use is for fill flash, and this is mostly outdoors.
The Sunpak is small, pocketable and does the job well! At it's size, I was amazed to find it had been designed to provide bounce flash as well. I've experimented with this indoors and now have a new benefit I was not counting on (or looking for).
I also love the fact that this flash sits nicely atop the SX 10IS (and G10) - having tried a competitor's flash previously, it almost looked as though the tail was wagging the dog. The smaller, shorter profile of this flash makes a perfect package, the balance and esthetics are excellent. I'm spareing technical details here, but will mention the E-TTL II interface has been just as claimed - it WORKS!
If you have an SX 10 IS (or it's big brother with HD Vid & RAW), a G9 or G10 ... or even a Powershot S5 IS, this flash will be worth every penny to you. I was skeptical on third-party E-TTL II compatability, this Sunpak has allayed those concerns. On top of all this, it fits nicely in a small pocket of your camera bag and looks great!

Nissin ND622MKII-C Speedlite Di 622 Mark II Flash System for Canon (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

Full review with photos can be read here: [...]
The Nissin Di622 Mark II flash is a well-built flash with very good light output and recycling time. The price is cheap compared to OEM and other 3rd party offering sans China branded units and the wealth of off-camera triggering modes make this one of the most flexible flash system you can buy if you like off-camera lighting.
While Canon and Nikon units will offer more wireless TTL control when used off-camera (such as multi-channel grouping and power adjustments), they do cost twice as much, if not more. You'll have a hard time finding a Nikon/Canon flash in the used market that can match the price of a brand new Nissin Di622 Mark II, not to mention most low/mid-end flashes do not offer sync ports and optical slave triggering as well.
Apart from the nearly-useless AF-assist light, the Nissin Di622 Mark II is an excellent flash unit for first-time flash buyers as it allows you to keep using the flash as your skills improve. When you've moved past using the flash on-camera, the off-camera modes allow this flash to exist in your camera bag until it finally breaks down.
The main point is, the Nissin Di622 Mark II is a good buy because it does what all basic flashes can do (manual power, variable sync triggering options) but still offer modern flexibility such as ignoring pre-flash slave modes and wireless TTL modes.

CLIP & SHOOT 1. Clip it on the camera. 2. Switch it on.3. Release the shutter button .The flash fires and its light is automatically controlled by the camera + flash TTL dedicated system. EVERY OPPORTUNITY Many photographers think of using a flash only at night or in poor lighting. However, a flash can be very useful in daylight too. Eliminate the shade under trees. Use fill-in lighting to sharpen the subject. Address catchlight in the eyes, and stop motion. Emphasize the lighting contrast. Enjoy more opportunities to use your flash.

Bower SFD728C TTL Autofocus Flash for Canon E-TTL II Review

Bower SFD728C TTL Autofocus Flash for Canon E-TTL II
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let's face it, photography is an expensive hobby. And while I agree that more money will usually get you higher quality products, for relatively newcomers to the game like me, spending $200 on a flash right out of the gate is a bit much.
I was looking for a well priced but good quality flash, which I found with the Bower SFD728C. It is ETTL compatible with my Canon XTi, which made learning how to use a shoe flash as simple as the onboard flash. The guide number is also relatively high (don't remember the exact number),and I was able to shoot a wedding in a small church with little problem. It also has swivel and pan capabilities which don't seem to be as common in this price bracket, allowing for the all important bounce capabilities.
My only complaint was that the locking ring was not very secure, and occasionally the flash would slip just far enough off the contacts to cause the camera to wig out when trying to fire the flash or a mistimed flash.
Overall however, I found the Bower SFD728C to be an easy to use, inexpensive, yet good quality flash. I'm sure there are some features capabilities that one could get with the Canon brand flashes at 2-3 times the price, but I haven't missed them yet.

Quantum QB2 - External battery pack
Average Reviews:

My Quantum Battery came with an older Metz CT4 flash. This was a great deal, because the entire package cost me about $150 on ebay. The great thing about this battery is that it holds its charge. My guess is 3-4 months after fully charging the unit. Yes it does take a little longer to recharge compared to regular rechargeable batteries, but once it is charged you can do an entire wedding without having to worry about it, or recharge. This a 9 volt battery so it is not suitable for some of the newer Digital cameras without a sync protector. It was made to be used with the older Metz flash systems CT5, CT4, CT1 etc. With a sync protector you can use both flash and Battery on any Digital camera. I decided to purchase the old handle-mount flashes, because of the extra power they provide, the broader light spread and the consistency, which to me, outshines TTL in many situations. I like this system so much that I went out and bought another CT4 and extra battery 2 so that I could do on location 2 light set ups. The cons are that the cable that attaches the flash to the battery is too short and I'm not sure if Metz sells any extensions.

This is a good small diffuser. You can just throw it in the bag and carry it around... you never know when a flash might come in handy...
I never use a flash without a diffuser. So If you are looking at this you should also take a look at: Gary Fong C3 Cloud Lightsphere II.
The only advantage this diffuser has to the C3 is that it's small and easy to carry.

It seems that everyone is whining about the battery life of this flash, but not about the quality of the product!! I bought this flasher today from a local retailer, and have had amazing success with it. I took well over 300 pictures with the same set of disposable batteries and it's still going strong. After 300 or so, the recharge time took a tad longer (1-3 seconds), but all in all, I definitely give this 5 stars. Granted, I am an amateur, but I am enjoying having a mini portrait studio right on top of my Canon XSI Rebel. Buy this. You wont be disappointed.

The PROMASTER 7500EDF Digital is a fully dedicated TTL flash designed to work seamlessly with today's high tech digital SLRs as well as traditional SLRs. It includes many advanced features including motorized zoom, multiple and modeling modes, and remote slave function. Along with all of these great features, you get full TTL integration with your digital SLR. The flash has a low profile design, a metal flash foot and features the added benefit of being able to update the firmware which insures that you will get many years of reliable flash photography. One of the handicaps of a camera (film or digital type) is the need to have good light to make a great picture. Many of today's cameras can take pictures indoors without flash or offer a built in electronic flash. However, adding more light in just the right amount can make the difference between a good picture and a remarkable picture. When you see pictures taken by today's contemporary photojournalists, the definition and tonality of the picture can be awesome. Accurate color, sharp detail and balanced illumination are important parts of great photography. And while some people still think film cameras make better pictures than digital, many who are shooting digital know that their pictures easily rival those shot on film. The biggest limitation to a digital camera is the sensitivity of the image sensor. Even though you can adjust the film speed setting on your digital camera, you really are only adjusting the software. Setting the ISO does not really change the ability of the camera's sensor to absorb light. It is more like tuning the color and contrast control on a television. The one tool that will dramatically improve your photographs is the PROMASTER 7500EDF Digital flash.

Only disappointment : to operate with my Canon Flash 580 EX II, you still need to put batteries inside it, and in order to be able to flash several times very quickly, these batteries need to be at the maximum power, the Quantum does not work as well if the flash batteries are weak.

At the size of a 3.5" x 5" index card and weighing less than a pound, the new Quantum Turbo SC gives new meaning to convenient power. Turbo Slim Compact is so small and light that one photographer who tested it exclaimed: "I completely forgot it was there!" The Turbo SC is compatible with all Quantum "C" and "CC-Series" flash cables. Includes removable belt clip, 100-240 volt universal charger. Turbo Compact and Turbo 2x2 power a digital camera from one cable, and a flash through another. The proper voltage for each camera model is automatically adjusted. To power a different camera or flash, change only the cable. Like the original Turbo Battery, the Compact, Slim Compact, and 2x2 provide ultra-fast flash recycling and camera power for the longest, most intensive shoots. For flash that's up to seven times faster and 10 times the power of internal batteries (see charts below). Turbo AC provides the same performance as the battery powered Turbo Compact - except Turbo AC is continuously powered anywhere in the world - from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The only other thing you need is an AC outlet.

I've read such good reviews of the hard-to-get YongNuo flash hardware, that I decided to try one on my T2i. Everything works great, and the camera recognizes the flash for all the Speedlite configurations. Very cool. The build quality is surprisingly solid and there is n-o-t-h-i-n-g about this camera that doesn't feel polished (well, the manual is a little sparse).
Because it ships from Hong Kong, I was cautiously hoping it wouldn't take a month to ship and clear customs. I even added a note to my order asking to do anything to expedite the shipping (I have a big trip coming up). I received the most polite and encourage email from "May" of YongNuo explaining that they would ship it as soon as the next units arrived. It shipped in two days, I received the registered HongKong invoice tracking number, and it arrived within two weeks.
If you are thinking about some other comparably priced flash units, I recommend getting some schooling on what a Speedlite-compatible unit can do. [..] is a start, and there is NK Guy's book, [..] which builds on the PhotoNotes article.
Overall, this is an outstanding value and I'll be looking carefully at anything in the YongNuo catalog.

Upgraded Flash Speedlite YN-468, it's designed for Canon DSLR Camera. The main difference between YN-468 and YN-467 is that YN-468 has the LED Display, Multi Strobeflash function, and can set the focus position of the light head manually, more professional and higher efficiency. Function: a), TTL mode, the metering system of this camera will detect flash illumination reflected back from the object so as to automatically control flash output in this mode. In this E-TTL mode, you can also make compensation of flash brightness with the " Output contral knob" within the range of ±3 ev, with the precision of 1/3 ev. (The compensation value can be added to the compensation value set on the camera.) b), Auto Zoom 1),The flash speedlite will move forward and backward with the changes of lens focus to suit different illumintion zones when it is mounted on the camera which supports E-TTL Function, the zoom range is 24mm - 85mm. 2), You also can set the focus position for the light head manually by pressing the mode swithc button + Power button. c), Multi Mode, it's the strobeflash mode, the flash light will output the power, flash frequency and time flash you have set. d), M mode, you can set flash luminance as per your favorite, luminance level will be displayed by luminance indicator. When taking photos, you only require setting the flash luminance, adjust the camera and press the shutter, the flash light will flash under the camera synchronous signal. e), S1 Mode, it will work with the first work of the master flash synchronously in this mode, with the result consistent with the use of radio slave. f), S2 Mode, it can support the master flash in TTL mode. In particular, if S1 mode can not have correct and synchronous flash with the inbuilt flash, you can try to use S2 mode

I recently purchased the Canon EOS T2i/EOS 550D camera kit and needed a more powerful flash so I ordered the Phoenix P04472 SmartFlash from Amazon.com. It was a great buy. Much cheaper than a Canon flash. It does everything that the Canon flash can do. It has a zoom flash head to match the focal length on the Canon zoom focal lengths, it also has the tilting and rotating zoom head for bouncing the flash from the ceiling or walls and plenty of flash power. The negative aspects of the flash is that it was cheaply made with very loose manufacturing tolerances. But with this aside, it performs exactly as designed. I highly recommend this flash to those who are on a budget and wants to get great flash results.

Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras Review

Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After years of manual flash macro work, recently in digital format with extension tubes on the Canon 100mm macro lens, I decided to cast a onsiderable sum of money at this twin light. Where I used to struggle just to get the correct exposure, now I'm able to concentrate on background (no night-looking flash fall-off anymore) and on modeling the light -- including little shiny aphids tended by ants! If you're serious about great macro work -- this is the flash to have.
I was worried about breaking the hot-shoe mount with rough field work, but the 45 degree angle of the mount adds stability. Even so, I bent up an aluminum strap bracket in my shop that surrounds the camera and flash -- a camera "roll bar."
There's a bit of a learning curve -- but when I tried manually setting the aperature (f22 is my lens's "sweet spot") and a shutter speed of 1/200 -- ISO 100 -- all of the exposures were perfect, because the ETTL function "dials in" the foregrand and background appropriately. I've used the same manual settings for just the macro lens, and for many variations of one to three extension tubes.
I've retired my 25 year-old Cokin flash unit that has served me so well with guess-timate exposures.
