    Purchased for my Canon EOS T3i. Perfect fit. However, the distance and power are limiting in a low-light hall/auditorium.

    I started using the flash moments after opening it Christmas eve. Found the flash provided much better lighting than built-in flash.

    Not for the faint of heart if it is to be used in conjunction with other flashes. HOwever for the serious photographer, or for single flash only, it's operation is seamless.

    I bought this flash for my husband to use on the job. It does a good job, much better than just using the camera flash.

    I bought this product and it never worked once. I thought it might be a cute little flash but it was final sale and I couldn’t return it (probably bc/ it didn’t work)

    it works great if you want to avoid built-in flash in 60d which interferes with shots involving wide-angle lens.
