Kit includes:1) Phoenix DZBIS-112CII Flash for Canon
2) Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce OM-300T Flash Diffuser
3) Multi-Voltage Rapid Charger with 4 NiMH Batteries
The powerful Phoenix DZBIS-112CII Flash is fully compatible with the electronics of all Canon EOS SLRs including Canon's E-TTL, E-TTL II and TTL dedication. It works automatically with the Canon Digital Rebel XT, XTi, EOS 5D, 20D, 30D, and all other EOS SLRs. The Phoenix DZBIS-112CII has an impressive guide number of 112 which allows you to shoot up to 3X further away than your camera's built-in flash with improved color, more natural lighting, and added depth to your pictures. The height of the DZBIS-112CII helps to greatly reduce or eliminate red-eye and its flash head bounces and swivels for professional-looking portraits. Great looking flash pictures aren't just about how powerful or expensive the flash is, it's about the quality and texture of the light (soft and diffuse versus direct and harsh). Phoenix DZBIS-112CII includes: Instructions; Phoenix USA Warranty.
The Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce is a compact diffusion dome that easily attaches to your flash to create a beautifully diffused lighting effect which results in soft wrap-around lighting on the subject and provides a softer and less noticeable shadow behind the subject. The Omni-Bounce is very easy to use and simply slips onto the head of your flash with a snug, custom fit without requiring any complicated velcro or adhesive attachments or any modification that might mar the appearance of your flash. In addition, it is conveniently compact to easily fit in your pocket or gadget bag.
Provide your camera with plenty of power with 4 ultra-high capacity 2900mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.
Customer Review: Maybe best in class
I give this product 5 stars only in terms of how it compares to other flash units in it's price category. Is it equal to the pro grade flash units? NO! But in terms of bang for the buck, you can't do much better? Pros -------- 1) Price 2) solid construction 3) fast recharge time 4) full swivel & bounce capability 5) ETTL capable, so it works with the DSLRs 6) Has zoom head for adjusting flash to focal length Cons --------- 1) Cannot switch ETTL mode on/off 2) No switches for manually adjusting output power The net result of the cons above is that when using the diffuser and/or bouncing flash the ETTL brain causes the camera to under-expose the photo, so you have to experiment and then using manual mode on the camera set the camera for the correct exposure. Generally when using the diffuser you will need to compensate as much as 1 to 2 full stops depending on focal length and distance from subject, and this is in fairly close range "portait" scenarios. If you are bouncing flash off of ceilings or walls, you will need to compensate even more. The flash unit's sensor simply takes straight ahead light readings and sends that data to the camera. All flash units do this, but the more expensive models have manual settings on the flash unit, so you can compensate flash, rather than compensating camera settings. For example, if depth of field is important to a shot, you may not want to stop your camera down from f7 to f4 to compensate for the flash unit. Other than the lack of manual settings, the unit performs like a pro even in awkward lighting situations. I have created poor lighting situations. I turned our living room lights out and opened the laundry room door, had my wife stand in front of the laundry room door, so she was in a dark room with a fully backlit room behind her, and photographed her with flash bounced at 45% with diffusion filter on, and the exposure was perfect with full rich color, and absolutely no harsh lighting. Given it's obvious limitations, this unit is a definite value given it's price. I would definitely buy it again. It's a great fill flash unit for studio effects as well. If you are shooting weddings or events professionally, you will want the Canon 480/580EX however.
Customer Review: Charger broke.
The battery charger broke after only a few times of use. I tried other batteries, and it still wouldn't work. Good thing I have a back up charger. The flash itself is basically a 'you get what you pay for' accessory. Don't expect superb results, but you'll be satisfied.
