Phoenix DZBIS-112iTTL Digital Autofocus Flash (E-TTL II, E-TTL, TTL) + Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce Diffuser + 4 Batteries & Charger for Canon EOS Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, 20D, 30D, 40D, 5D Digital SLR Cameras

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: Great Job!!
First off, I'm a complete amateur, I didn't realize the benefit in an external flash until a couple of weeks ago when i was at a in-door wedding , the professional photographer had a high end flash for her Canon 5D. By chance a few of the photo's i snapped on my XSI were captured with the flash from the pro and those were the best shots in my batch of photos, i was sold. Anyway, after using this flash for the past week, i am very satisfied with the major improvement in the quality of my indoor shots. The good thing is, is that i have no idea what the difference is between this and the Canon version. The canon's looks nicer and it's probably better built. However for the money spent i'm lovin' it, i can take indoor shots that look great, just bounce the shots off the ceiling or walls.
Customer Review: Cheap, but Good enough
I dig it. as a semi-professional this works very well for me...it does look funny on my XTI (its huge in comparison to the camera). The recycle time with the Batteries supplied in this packages is awesome. For the most part once it charges i can shoot continuously. The flash seems bright enough to cover a fair amount of space at ISO 100, so i assume that at higher ISO it will cover a massive area. The diffuser is wonderful(then again its just plastic) Speaking of plastic this whole Flash is plastic and you need to be careful with the hot-shoe connector or you will strip the threads. What can i say, for $100 you cant go wrong with the one.
