What are you using and what are the advantages/disadvantages?
I would like a small bounce/zoom flash with minimal manual controls ...
don't want to negate the small form of the body with a monster flash.

TIA!

I am using an Incablitz 280AZ but am saving up for a Sigma 500 series.

Cheers.

It's nice to know that works. I have one and it works with my Kodak DX6490, and
I was hoping to be able to use it with an ist DS when I get it.

I have an ist-D (not the DS) and I'm using a Sigma EF500 DG Super flash.
Very impressed with it so far.
