  Outstanding Flash for Canon Powershot SX 10 IS!

  by ben9n on July 16, 2009

  Pros: Portable, Pocketable, Full E-TTL II Compatability, Bounce Flash capable

  Summary: I recently upgraded from the Canon S5 IS to the SX 10 IS, and bought this not for the extra flash range, but simply to take that task from the camera, and quicken / improve the recycle time (and increase battery life). My primary use is for fill flash, and this is mostly outdoors.
  
  The Sunpak is small, pocketable and does the job well! At it's size, I was amazed to find it had been designed to provide bounce flash as well. I've experimented with this indoors and now have a new benefit I was not counting on (or looking for).
  
  I also love the fact that this flash sits nicely atop the SK 10 (and G10) - having tried a competitor's flash previously, it almost looked as though the tail was wagging the dog. The smaller, shorter profile of this flash makes a perfect package, the balance and esthetics are excellent. I'm spareing technical details here, but will mention the E-TTL II interface has been just as claimed - it WORKS!
  
  If you have an SX 10 IS (or it's big brother with HD Vid & RAW), a G9 or G10 ... or even a Powershot S5 IS, this flash will be worth every penny to you. I was skeptical on third-party E-TTL II compatability, this Sunpak has allayed those concerns. On top of all this, fits well in compact space and looks great!
