It's a crappy little flash that's not even as powerful as the T-20, usable only 
indoors for snaps of the family.  Can be used on any camera -- it's got a 
single trigger-pin in the centre of the shoe.  I wouldn't waste my time or 
money on it.  Better deals could be had from any number of third-party flash 
manufacturers.

AFAIK, yes.
