    All the flash I need for Canon 6D mii. Interfaces well with this camera. Can angle the flash for vertical bounce. Auto settings work well.

    This flash if great it provides the proper lighting for every picture and even has a bounce effect. Much better than using the built bin flash on my EOS, it never produced enough light.

    Purchased this product for my dad on Father's Day. Love the flash, that was bought for his Canon. The pictures come out better, than using the normal typical flash attached to the camera.

    bargain for the money

    This was purchased for a Canon 5Dmkii, a camera body that has not flash. The 270EX ii is small, lightweight, 2 AA battery strobe that doubles as a portable unit or as a second flash, slave flash - for a small price. The only drawback is that although the flash can be bent upward to "bounce", like all brand small flashes, it does not swivel; only horizontal shots can be illuminated by bouncing off a ceiling, but not for vertical shots like the 430EX, etc.
