Product Description
Kit includes:
♦ 1) Phoenix DZBIS-112CII Flash for Canon
♦ 2) Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce OM-300T Flash Diffuser
♦ 3) Multi-Voltage Rapid Charger with 4 NiMH Batteries The powerful Phoenix DZBIS-112CII Flash is fully compatible with the electronics of all Canon EOS SLRs including Canon's E-TTL, E-TTL II and TTL dedication. It works automatically with the Canon Digital Rebel XT, XTi, EOS 5D, 20D, 30D, and all other EOS SLRs. The Phoenix DZBIS-112CII has an impressive guide number of 112 which allows you to shoot up to 3X further away than your camera's built-in flash with improved color, more natural lighting, and added depth to your pictures. The height of the DZBIS-112CII helps to greatly reduce or eliminate red-eye and its flash head bounces and swivels for professional-looking portraits. Great looking flash pictures aren't just about how powerful or expensive the flash is, it's about the quality and texture of the light (soft and diffuse versus direct and harsh). Phoenix DZBIS-112CII includes: Instructions; Phoenix USA Warranty. The Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce is a compact diffusion dome that easily attaches to your flash to create a beautifully diffused lighting effect which results in soft wrap-around lighting on the subject and provides a softer and less noticeable shadow behind the subject. The Omni-Bounce is very easy to use and simply slips onto the head of your flash with a snug, custom fit — without requiring any complicated velcro or adhesive attachments or any modification that might mar the appearance of your flash. In addition, it is conveniently compact to easily fit in your pocket or gadget bag. Provide your camera with plenty of power with 4 ultra-high capacity 2900mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.

 An Amateur's Review November 25, 2008
I've been using this flash with my XSi for almost 2 weeks. And what can I say? The flash really improves my pictures! (I'll be posting my pictures using the built-in flash, without any flash, and with the Phoenix flash soon.)
Anyway, I really don't know the technical terms yet but the "red sensor" (the red transluscent plastic in the flash that bounces of a red light) coordinates well with the autofocus of the camera in really DARK conditions. When I tried to use only the built-in flash of my XSi under the same dark condition, it can't detect where to focus. So during those instances where you would want to shoot indoors where the light is scarce, the flash complements the XSi especially when using the kit lens at 18mm, f3.5.
But just to inform those who are about to buy this, if you are considering a flash that looks classy, you might want to look for another one (Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras / Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras). The back of the flash, which is not shown in the pictures here, really looks cheap! (Don't worry, I'll take a picture of it so you can judge for yourself.) If you're expecting that the flash has an LCD at the back, you're wrong. It only has a switch and a long horizontal dial to manipulate the distance of the flash. It kinda reminded me of the flash I had in one of my old school film cameras which had poor aesthetics and was made of brittle plastic.
Well, if that's not an issue for you, then go ahead and buy this! After all, as one of my friends told me: "it's with the Indian, not the bow and arrow."
 Does what I need November 7, 2008
This flash does exactly what I need it to do. Just make sure you read your camera manual before you just attach and shoot, I was getting a nice red spot on my pictures :) I love being able to bounce it directly behind me, or anywhere else I need to bounce it. The only down fall is that it is a little big, and the shoe attachment isn't of the greatest quality. But overall, great product for the price.
Great Job!! August 11, 2008

First off, I'm a complete amateur, I didn't realize the benefit in an external flash until a couple of weeks ago when i was at a in-door wedding , the professional photographer had a high end flash for her Canon 5D. By chance a few of the photo's i snapped on my XSI were captured with the flash from the pro and those were the best shots in my batch of photos, i was sold.
Anyway, after using this flash for the past week, i am very satisfied with the major improvement in the quality of my indoor shots. The good thing is, is that i have no idea what the difference is between this and the Canon version. The canon's looks nicer and it's probably better built. However for the money spent i'm lovin' it, i can take indoor shots that look great, just bounce the shots off the ceiling or walls.
Cheap, but Good enough July 11, 2008

I dig it. as a semi-professional this works very well for me...it does look funny on my XTI (its huge in comparison to the camera). The recycle time with the Batteries supplied in this packages is awesome. For the most part once it charges i can shoot continuously. The flash seems bright enough to cover a fair amount of space at ISO 100, so i assume that at higher ISO it will cover a massive area. The diffuser is wonderful(then again its just plastic)
Speaking of plastic this whole Flash is plastic and you need to be careful with the hot-shoe connector or you will strip the threads.
What can i say, for $100 you cant go wrong with the one.

The flash unit provides an abundance of light for my Digital Canon Rebel XT. I have typically used the 45 degree angle in the home. Using the diffuser almost entirely eliminates shadows on the wall. I took pictures at a wedding reception for 3-hours and the batteries were still going strong. I still have a lot to learn about using this flash but I am satisfied with the performance to date. If you are a professional, then go with the Canon flash, but for everyone else... this will do just fine.
