I have an older model works great w dSLR
Good for occasional use - hey what do you want for 1/4 the price of the Canon ring light - works with my D30 and 40D

incorrect ring light for digital camera
The RL-59C came from [...] as a package with the Canon Digtl RBL XTI Dental Camera outfit. I thought the ring light was broken. I called Phoenix prior to return for repair and they told me this ring light only works on film cameras. [...] told me "tough luck" without the original box for return. I think that is poor business. I am trying to get a new box sent to me from Phoenix, and this is difficult.

Junk!!!!!
OK, the price is a lot less then the Canon so in all fairness what was I expecting? But, it is total junk. Somewhere I read it should work with a Rebel XT which means it would work with a XTi, 30D, etc. Not the case because the shoe mount pins do not line up properly. Save your money and buy the real deal. Canon MR-14EX. Much better!!!!

Good considering its cost
I have used this item for closeup shots of items to be listed on Ebay, and the like. I deem it to be specialized, and not for general photographic use.

It was mentioned that "nowhere does it say it won't work with the XTi" but doesn't the fact that this is a TTL and the XTi (and other dSLR cams) need a E-TTL mean it won't work with the XTi.
It is what it is - a cheap TTL ring flash. Good for the film TTL compat bodies - not for the dSLRs so much.

Don't buy it
Doesn't work with my EOS XTi and Sigma 105. Nowhere does it say that it won't work with this setup.

Poor quality
Poor in all aspects. Needs brand new batteries all the time or it will not charge. Only used it three times in two years and now it is dead.
