    I had not needed to take any pictures with a flash because i use my camera mainly for birding. Well, now that it's over a month since I purchased this flash I used it and it totally sucks. The little flash that is on the camera works 100 times better than this thing. I will go to the store and try to get a refund even though it's been over 30 days. I should have tried it immediately!

    I wanted a compact external flash for my Powershot G-12. I recently took some photos of my grandkids and the results were great. The system is compact, has the features I need, and I get great photos

    Portable Flash With So-So Purpose

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This flash is a small and lightweight unit that has a bit more power than your camera's on-board flash, but not nearly the power or the flexibility and quality of a 430EXII or higher flash. Having a 5DMk3, I bought this flash because my camera has no on-board flash. This way I could slip this in my bag and it would take up almost no room. Well, the quality of the flash output and the power just wasn't enough and I almost never used it, and eventually sold it. It's not a terrible product, but I'd highly encourage the purchase of a 430EXII instead! I bought the Yongnuo 565-II flash instead, which has the power of the 580EXII but without the TTL. To each their own, but I was not a fan of this flash.

    Just not sold that this was the right flash. Bought so I would have at Christmas but found I didn't really need it with my T3i and in the settings I used my camera. We'll see this Friday when I have an opportunity to do more shooting outside and don't have the same lighting available & will be working at different distances to see how it works.

    Waste of money

    The first couple hours of using this flash it worked nicely, but toward the end of the event I noticed a very long recharge time after the flash goes to sleep. I thought this might be a battery issue but even after changing batteries the problem continued. I miss opportunities for several pictures in the time it takes the flash to recharge. On the other hand when it does work, it really does a good job as a fill flash.
