I presume this will work on a Canon 30D?

Is it the dogs danglies in terms of flashguns?

Are Canon bringing out a new flashgun anytime soon?

That is all

OK I lied... another question or two.

Do they breakdown much or are they pretty rugged.

Do they carry international warranties?

Yes to breakdown a lot or yes to being rugged?

They seem to be around the £260 mark, even though in my local LCE it was up for £400!

Do the imported units miss anything the UK ones have?

I guess these will eat batteries like no tomorrow so I take it high NimH rechargeables are the way forward?

Cool I've got tonnes of those from my RC car days.

Does the flash recharge quickly from pic to pic? E.g. can I rack a few quick fire shots off or not with the flash attached? I don't want to stand there waiting a minute for the flash to recharge.

I think I'll stick with my rechargable batteries for now as it's something I've already purchased.

Cheers for your help one and all
