You guys are correct that it goes well with a compact; aside from a 400D I also bring along an S5 IS and it is nice to have a limited video capability sometimes. I also just recently met a friend who bought is G10 and after lending it to him appreciated having a small external flash.
It is quite light and pocketable, compared to the 430/580EX. Very handy for travel.
Compared to the built-in fill flashes, the bounce capability is something that is well appreciated at this price point.
My older cameras could not utilize the pre-flash focusing feature...instruction manual said that a software upgrade may be needed.
And speaking of price points, I got mine along the orchard area for only 200 sgd, GST inclusive. That less than half the price of the 430EX II. I had to hunt it down though as many stores are out of stock and word on the street is that only a limited number were initially released to stores in Singapore.
As a cheap/small/backup flash, I humbly feel that it fills its niche rather nicely
so it's out? which store did you go too?
