Hi Miha, I think Evrim recently posted a situation with this Sigma flash, his broke almost immediately after opening the box. I don't recall if he actually got to use it or what the results were with it though. If money is an issue why not just buy a nice used one? Third party product designers are rarely privy to all of the important design info of the OE camera maker and as such often start at a great disadvantage compared to the OE brand. This is NOT always the case, but why not just be happy with a known good product? The listed features are not all there is to a product like a flash. The electronic interaction of the flash and camera body is complex, even Canon with full knowledge of the EOS flash system has not got it right 100% so I doubt that a third party maker can get it as good as the OE maker. The price difference is not that great if buying a used 550EX.
