Re: Speedlite 420 ex vs. Sigma 500 DG
Is the sigma the Super or ST?

I suspect the sigma has a higher guide number (more powerful). Look on amazon for the feature set and guide number. The super will have a big advantage. (work as master, strobe function,....)

Re: Speedlite 420 ex vs. Sigma 500 DG
Unless it's a super, keep the 420ex. If you need more power, you should be looking to get the 580ex (the Sigma super's are unreliable as a master with the 420ex).

Stick with the 420. I have one and love it. I have seen the Sigmas and they're just nowhere near as good.
