It's no Canon... 
Pros: This flash is good, it does what it's supposed to. It's got good features and plenty of power.
Cons: This flash is noisy, especially when compared to the Canon 550ex I was using before. The Sigma feels cheaply built when compared next to a Canon. I'm not crazy about the plastic.
In the future I will be buying only Canon flashes. While this flash is fine for what I need it for, it's too loud for some situations and feels cheaply built IMHO.
Perfect exposure every time. 
RIght out of the box it went to photograph a wedding. Every shot was perfect, frow wide angle to telephoto.
Great Unit
For the price of this unit it's great. It's powerful and has the added benefit of an optical trigger. It is built a little cheap, it has an annoying red flashing ready light, and it has a funky menu system. Overall it's worth getting.
A worthy upgrade from a 500 ST
I bought the 530 Super to replace my 500 ST. It's definitely faster and quieter than the ST. So what's the main difference you ask between the 530 and 500 SUPER. I would say that the 530 adds more power to the flash. The ETTL metering seem's to right on the money. If you were to compare this flash with Canon's 430EX, I would rather get this one. Same performance with added wireless MASTER transmitter.
