Answer
Well, first of all, all "hot shoe" external flash units will "fit" on any hot shoe mount... But here is the rub.

Most DSLR cameras use trigger voltages of less than 12v (Canon, 6v). After market flash units can have up to 350v trigger voltages which will fry any DSLR's electronics. While the data on that flash says it will work on a whole list of DSLR's, the trigger voltage is not listes. I would check first

If you have a 35mm Pentax, then perhaps the Sigma will be just fine, but as the years go by, you will eventually want a DSLR ... so you may want to by a Pentax dedicated digital flash and only buy a flash one time.

will there be canon eos rebels in southeast asia?




Happyday D


for those camera professionals, are these good dslr's?


any other cameras that could match their qualities?



Answer
Canon EOS Rebel cameras are available everywhere. I was all over SE Asia last year (in China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore) and I saw them everywhere. Well, not so much in the countryside of Laos and Cambodia, but you get the point.
These are very good cameras.
The dRebels are entry level dSLR cameras. In this market segment, a lot of other companies have competitive cameras, too. Like Nikon (the D40, D40X, D60, and D80 models come to mind), Sony, Olympus, and Pentax.
In my opinion however, Canon and Nikon are a cut above the rest. Mainly because you can get so many different lenses for them on the used market and because Canon and Nikon can grow with you as a photographer... all the way to professional cameras and lenses if you want.
If you want to read up on a specific camera, here are two great review sites. Keep in mind that the Canon digital Rebel is not one specific camera: it's four different models that replaced each other over the years, starting with the
dRebel, a.k.a. 300D (first try, very old by now)
dRebel XT, a.k.a. 350D (decent but getting old)
dRebel XTi, a.k.a. 400D (still sold new)
dRebel XSi, a.k.a. 450D (brand new)
