Just want to know your guy's input on the Sigma 500DG Super Flash that i recently purchased from a member on here . From what i read and reviews i seen people like this flasher set up . Now i'm a rookie but im catching on quickly and no my iso,shutter speed, aperture settings but this built in flash that rebel xs has is not doing so well for me in "M" mode and other settings so i decided to purchase this one my first time around . So let me here the bads and the goods :p

I have had excellent luck with the Sigma 500 DG Super on my Rebel XT. Using the bounce feature, I had to increase the Flash Exposure Compenstation by 2/3 to get a proper exposure. Using a diffuser, the exposure was real close without the FEC.
