You get what you pay for
The flash on my camera is broken, so to get me by I bought the Digital Concepts hotshoe flash. My biggest complaint is the battery compartment. It is very difficult to get the batteries out to replace them. I need to use needle nose pliers to get them out. Putting them in is not easy either. Poorly designed. Otherwise the flash has worked fine. It does take a while for it to recharge after firing and it eats batteries very fast.
Quality match the price!
Build quality is ok for $30 and it is not to bulky. It provides more light than the on board flash from my XTI but will drain the batteries a bit quick, then again that's normal. In the future I will get a canon speedlite but for now this one will due.
Piece of Garbage
This is a piece of garbage. It lasted just long enough to take about 30 Christmas pictures. Just spend the extra money on the Canon Flash.
