Fellow photographers Recommened to take the Canon, but somehow not very convincingly. A question for those who have had the experience of "dialogue" with both:
so if Canon is cooler to cost 2 times more expensive? Whether to take the Sigma? If she had any significant mistakes, which I vposledstvii can greatly regret? Can Sigma be paired with flashes from other manufacturers?

I would recommend the website market.yandex.ru — there are reviews about the different flares.
Read — compare.
Take a closer look at Nikon flash, though in a Yandex market they are not all exposed.

You are a professional doing this? If there is no + as I understand the financial issue is important to You, then without hesitation take the Sigma.
\r
If it brings some income or You are photographing in the Studio, and native Kanarovska blaze, of course would be preferable. And faster and synchronize better build quality again.
\r
I was choosing between the 430 II, 580 II. Took the 430, as the needs in page not as big. The Studio don't like the extra 30% of the weight I don't need, reload speed, 430 arranged.
\r
So I think You first need to decide for what purpose you need blaze.

if you are not shooting a story, if you understand how it all works and can operate the flash in manual mode then you can do the Sigma. as the light source Sigma quite noralee device, but as a device which you have to use it certainly has some rough edges.
the branded flashes zoom is restructuring specular reflector with a slight wiggling of the bulb, the Sigma zoom is made by tytania bulb into the head, takes time and emits a loud ZZZZZZTT
\r
for me this is the main disadvantage of the Sigma. in General I think that the older SUPER Sigma began to cost too much, easier to buy a 430 and shoot without thinking about anything

Thought to buy a 580, and you puzzled me.
Write here (or Inbox) then if not difficult, I decided to choose and why, in a nutshell.

Sigma not supposed to be able to auto-zoom when you are zooming the lens, ie, not able to communicate with the lens — there are closed protocols, in theory...
True auto-zoom flash works only at position 90 degrees, the slightest deviation of the head and he blacked out.

If you don't use in a pile with others (as a lead), it is a great alternative to the 430EX II
Price Sigma suspiciously small, something will not work.
\r
PS — the best solution is to come to the store and try it yourself and choose on the spot.

By the way, what exactly you will use the flash? For example, strobizm and fit YongNuo, which is much cheaper.
