    I originally bought this Speedlight for an EOS-R to replace the built-in flash this camera did not have, compared to my old Canon 60D. This speedlight was not a particularly good value (dollars spent for product features) compared to the Canon 430EX Speedlight, which is the flash I ultimately purchased.

    Not a pro speedlite. Looks like its more power full than stock flash. It tilts, so I can bounce the light of the ceiling. I also have a difuser for it, so it eliminates harsh head on flash. It works as a slave with my 70D, so I like that feature as well. But if you are looking for power full speedlite, with manual controls, look elsewhere.

    I have been wanting to add one of these to my Canon Rebel since I bought the camera. Whenever I used the built in flash you could see it was struggling and would not light the entire area I was trying to capture. Not so with this flash, it fills the picture nicely to give a more uniformed picture and it re-charges really fast. I love this thing.

    This is a great light small unit that extends the fuction of the onboard flash on the camera. It is not a flash for professionals but for those situations that the on board flash would not handle. It does a good job for the medium range shots. battery life is good. shot a whole wedding reception without any problem.

    I purchased this external flash because the one on my Canon wouldn't pop up as usual. After consulting the manual, I decided to try this basic external flash. Wish I had done it 3 years ago--what a difference, even with this basic (lowest level model) flash attachment. Easy to use.
