Quick Shift Bounce system.
It offers more creative ways to achieve lighting, flash and bounce angles
The flash head can pivot 90 degrees left and right on a horizontal axis in addition to the conventional up and down vertical adjustment, it can keep the same orientation regardless of portrait or landscape shooting.
Built-in bounce card
Recycles (or recharges) in as little as five seconds.
No whine
Large, easy-to-read LCD screen
Wireless Auto Flash Control
Control the ratio of lighting from several off-camera flash units.

Great product, and the left/ right twist swivel in addition to the normal backward swivel is really useful, something so simple yet Canon & Nikon do not include on their speedlites.

steve, Barnstaple keen amateur photographer
- Good points:
- Very powerful, integrates well with camera, exposures accurate. Versatile - very much like the way that the head swivels to allow bounce flash in both landscape and portrait modes.
- Bad points:
- Heavy, feels unbalanced on camera (an SLT A55V). Distinctly not beautiful!

Oliver, Leeds
- Good points:
- looks fantastic, powerful, creates good effects and is an excellent flash unit.
- Bad points:
-
doesn't fit as tightly as you may like on top of the camera (alpha 300 for me) and as such feels a little loose/vunerable.
Instruction manual isn't exactly great for learning from.

Michael, Surrey Experienced amateur. Still learning.
- Good points:
- Very effective and adaptable wireless flash enables one to avoid blown highlights, obtrusive shadows etc. Gives much more pleasing effects than on-board flash. The high power output is a boon when using reflected flash.
- Bad points:
- None
