Is this full auto? I'm not very familiar with using flash, but I want to learn.
I recently got the Vivitar DF383 and have been pretty pleased. It also has a cheap (but useful) built in diffuser/reflector. If someone could compare this to the 580EX II that would be useful.

This thing works great, hugely improves indoor shots, and was an amazing deal when compared to Canon's line of bounce flashes.
Use these in it, because these things eat batteries!

Also, I dropped my camera once with this on it and it shattered the hot shoe mount area on the flash. I called Vivitar (in New Jersey, I think) and they sent me a new one for free!!!! I can't give them enough praise for that...
