The Sunpak PZ40X II is small and capable. Great TTL compatibility with bounce and auto-zoom head. This is a great little flash for traveling. Enough flashes from two AA to save your camera charge. Just enough range for average shooting. May be a light-weight for "pros", but a great back-up. Would prefer black color versions rather than the metallic color which accentuates scratches and matches only a few cameras.

Great for casual use.

I like the flash, but I have read some reviews that say you have to watch how fast you use it, so if you plan to use it a lot at a time do some more research, and make sure it is what you want. If you going to use it once or twice and then wait a few min you will be fine. As I said in the title it is great for casual use.

Bought this flash for my Canon Rebel XT based on size, features, and price. I loved the size and weight compared to what I'm used to from my 35mm days. I also like the auto zoom feature. However, when I tried out the bounce feature, even at close (~5ft) range with a white ceiling, the photos came out dark. The flash indicator confirmed "OK". This is not acceptable. I phoned Tocad customer support and had to leave a message, and it took them a few days to respond, by which time I returned the unit.
