    This flash is nice and compact. Puts out plenty of light for casual photography, reflects nicely off light ceilings for a cool glow. Is pretty quick to respond, Only complaint is that it eats through batteries pretty quickly, but looking into high powered rechargeables.

    This flash is a nice accessory for your camera bag. With its small size and mighty power accompanied by its great price makes this accessory a no brainer. If you are looking for a bit more light without investing in the next step up, this is a great flash.

    Does the Job

    It's fairly small. Good for beginners. Does the job in dark environments. Used it on my 6d mark ii which doesn't come with a built in flash and I think it was worth it.

    This Canon flash is underrated. It is small but works very well with my EOS 50d and EOS 70d. I like this flash better than my Canon 600 flash for general use.

    To be honest, I don't generally use a flash, but I was doing a photo shoot for a friend and needed to get something to act as a fill since there was so much sun. I got it the night before and used it the next day. Stellar. Did exactly what I needed it to. It's not the biggest bang in the Speedlite line, but I imagine that for infrequent or light use personal needs it's plenty.

    Works well with Canon EOS 6D

    I bought this for my Canon EOS 6D. I have used it in the shoe with good results. It also can be used remotely with some model cameras and has an adapter to mount it on a tripod. I haven't tried that function, so I can't say if it works with the EOS 6D. This is the least expensive flash for the EOS D6 that Canon makes, so you could go high-end, but this works good for me.

    superb indoor flash for hobbyist

    Lots of features to keep a hobbyist happy for a long time. slave flash works good, but needs to be in LOS of the camera front (non-radio, IR only). Good flash, nice Telescope feature to get distance out of a compact fash, and the head rotates vertically for ceiling bounce. compact design is easy to store.

    Bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister to use with her canon camera, she loves it! She had looked up a couple to purchase but was thrilled with knowing this one knowing that it was guaranteed to work with her camera and that it was from a reputable brand.

    I was looking to improve indoor pictures with better lighting. I love the flexibility that you can angle the light. What a difference in the quality of the picture. I got this on sale so it is well worth the money.

    Unit is light weight but provides more flash coverage than the built in flash on the camera. It stores easily in the camera bag when not in use. Does not interfere with the performance of the camera.

    I'm a working professional photographer and this is a compact quick flash to grab and go with a lot of power. One down side is it can only use focus flashes instead of red focus beam but still a great flash.

    This is a good flash. I am still experimenting it with 5d M3 and works well. I end up over exposing photos in many cases but I think that's not the flash but me learning this little master.

    This 270EX II has more power than the Canon T4i built in flash. Since it uses 2 AA batteries, it is compact and lightweight. Flash head is adjustable for wide and tele setting, and can tilt for bounce lighting. Works good for outdoor fill flash. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

    This flash helps take amazing photos compared to the built in flash on our canon T3i. The small size is nice so it can be easily packed in our small camera bag. The only negative is that when it's attached to the camera, you can't bounce the flash left or right, only vertically. Highly recommend this to upgrade the appearance of your indoor photos.
