Hi, I am new to dslr and I have the opportunity to buy the above named flash for $90. Seems like a good deal to me. What do you think?

Its a good deal if new.

I would take one if it was free; inadequate manual power settings, no wireless, no HSS. Either buy a decent manual flash, or spend the extra and get a decent pTTL flash. That flash model is neither.

I think it's a great flash for the money. I have one and it does just fine.

No wireless = no go for me. Another $165 will get you a Sigma EF-610 Super. It's not a lot of money, keep saving.

Well the flash is new, so that makes 2 opinions for and 2 opinions against. Do we have a tie breaker post coming in?
