Would you get the sigma ef 610 (flash)

[Charles89]

I have no money for the Canon, and I really need (want) a flash.

Sigma just released the new Ef610.

There is a normal and ''super'' model.

Normal : EF-610 DG ST Flash - Flash - SigmaPhoto.com
Super : EF-610 DG Super Flash - Flash - SigmaPhoto.com

Does anyone know if this flash is close to the Canon's ? Or if its total crap. Im having a hard time finding good infos on google.

Thank you for your time.

While i dont have that exact flash, i did have the 530 DG Super II and compared to its canon equivalent (580EX) the only thing the canon has is a little better locking system and it can recharge faster. But i loved my Sigma flash, i just recently traded it and some other equipment for two 580EX II's but i would say @ 255 dollars, Go for it.
