The 360 does not swivel, just flip up 90*. That is why I want the 540 as well. It has a rebate going right now, but I don't know if that is Canada also. Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

The AF360FGZ unit only has simple vertical movement for bounce. The AF540FGZ unit has both swivel and vertical movements. Check them out on the BH website: a much more succinct and informative delineation of features and specifications than on the Pentax site. I would not buy a flash of this
