Test shots while deciding between the Canon 430EX and the Sigma EF-500 DG Super. The Flashes were mounted on a Canon 350D.

Sigma EF-500 DG Super Shot number 1 (average) Simga EF-500 DG Super Shot number 2 (Dim) Simga EF-500 DG Super Shot number 3 (bright) The 4th shot is exposed the same as the 3rd shot. 4 shots of the same subject and 3 different exposures confirms the forum reviews of an inconsistent flash output of the sigma on a Canon camera. Canon 430EX 1st shot Canon 430EX 2nd shot. 3rd and 4th shot are still about the same exposure showing consistency in the output.
