Am not sure but I believe its compatible with most DSLR 

It is suitable for most DSLR and micro-single cameras 

Built in. Only need sun or plug in charger ( it comes with one) to power up. 

Depends on what you mean by direct sunlight. If you mean the filter pointed directly at the sun, and you are worried about lens flare, well it wont stop that. But if you mean using it out in bright bright sunlight all around, then it works great. I'm a member of the Longview Film Club. We shoot indie short films, and use these for all of lenses and cameras. It's a must when shooting outside under almost any conditions. Makes it possible to get nice Depth of Field even on a sunny day. 

hello ,you can use ie take picture of the sun, but not for the solar eclipse
