 Good flash for the money. May 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Using this flash with my Canon S5. E-TTL seems to work well as long as there's no converter attached. Took a 65ft shot using max zoom and subject was well exposed. That's about as far as I'll ever need with this camera. I also have a Raynox 6600 wide angle converter to 24mm(S5 only goes to 36mm). This flash doesn't automatically go to 24mm. But manually setting it to 24mm is easy enough. The flash was able to cover the entire field of view. Recycling time is about 5 seconds with fresh Nimh batteries. Was thinking about the 430ex but, couldn't justify the price for my meager needs.

I am well pleased with my new Sunpak PZ40X. I'm using it on a Canon and so far the picures have been fantastic. I have been using bounce flash and it fills the entire room.Sunpak PZ40X Power Zoom Digital Flash for all Canon EOS TTL, E-TTL and E-TTL II Cameras (Black)
Basic Flash April 3, 2007

The positive: efficient, works well with my Rebel XT , less expensive than canon The negative: built quality not the best, very basic not strong enough not cheap enough for what it is. Built quality 6, performance 7, price 7. Conclusion not bad for a short budget amateur photographer

It worked okay but I ordered a Canon 580EX that I like much better. The Canon has greater control and shoots farther, of course you pay a big price difference.
Good flash, for the money December 30, 2006

I own the "Quantaray"-branded version of this flash for Canon TTL cameras. I think this is a good flash for the money, considering it costs on average $100 less than the mid-level Canon 430EX. I've seen Sunpak flash reviews where people claim the flash does not sync correctly in E-TTL II mode, but I've had no problems there - the only problem I've seen are few (very few) over-exposed shots where the flash probably got confused about the focal length being transmitted to the shoe by the camera.
The flash has an interesting internal "zoom" mechanism (quite audible) that varies the exposure level based on the focal length of the lens being used (zoom and primes). It's actually not bad. I'd say about 99 out of 100 shots are correctly exposed.
However, I made the mistake of putting alkaline batteries on the flash... worst decision ever. If you use this flash, you want to use it with NiMH rechargeable batteries. I am not kidding about this - it's a completely different flash than with alkaline batteries. The recycle time is near instantaneous and the sync speed is far higher. The manual grossly understates the advantages of using NiMH batteries with the PZ40X II. Plus, with rechargeable batteries your cost per exposure will be much lower.
Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this flash if you have a Rebel XT or 30D. Especially if you're just getting into flash photography. Later you can upgrade to the more advanced Canon flashes.
