Query: Bad Flash BEWARE

I too had the issue of not getting good light.. ANY light out of this flash. I would do better holding a flash light over my head. In fact.. a Lighter would do too. It was my first External flash unit, so I thought maybe I just wasn't using it. I'm thinking that it might not be designed to work on DIGITAL cams. I have Canon 30D. I guess you get what you pay for. A good starter flash would be the Canon 430 ex. The 580 ex II is a better flash ( more light output, more features.) I have both now. The 430 is my back-up flash. Good units. Spend the $$. U'll be glad you did.
