Excellent flash. Has not let me down yet. I bought the 550 to replace a Sunpac and there is no comparison.

Pros:

Quality construction.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not as sharp as I was expecting.

Lens had excellent FOV. Was my first wide angle. But I was disappointed in the sharpness, especially with a flash in program mode. Was sharp at aperture 2.8, and 8-9 range but fuzzy at 4-6.
Sold it and bought the 24-70 --- much better lens.

Great picture quality for the price. Solid construction.

Old technology. Not enough resolution compared to the new cameras. Poor low light focus. High ISO's have too much noise.

Was awesome when it first came out. Still makes great pictures compared to 90% of the cameras out there.

Pros:
|
Very versatile lens. Lightweight.Price.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not in the class of L lens construction.
|
|
|
Good multi-purpose lens. Crisp photos.
Edit - I just purchased a 10D to replace the D30, and this lens is not as crisp as it should be on this camera. I think this is a good multipurpose lens for up to say a D30, but higher megapixel cameras need a higher quality lens.
