    My last Canon flash was purchased 6 years ago and I only bought this one because my off camera shoe cord got stuck on it. I was able to take the flash apart and remove the cord and put everything back together. Now I have two operating flashes!

    I bought this as a present for my partner, to match the Canon I bought him for Christmas. He was pleasantly surprised to discover the built in diffuser.

    I wanted an external flash to expand my photographic capabilities, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money on something I didn't know a lot about (yet). This flash is very easy to use and works seamlessly with my Canon Rebel EOS XSi.

    Pros: Versatile flash allowing multiple angle settings. Easily integrated with my Canon 6D. Cons: A bit pricey but worth it. Adds quite a bit to the overall camera weight.

    This is a must have flash. Once you go threw the manual and shoot a few pictures you will see the difference, day and night results.

    This a great flash to have for everyone who has this canon. I use it all the time, and it has significantly improved my indoor picture quality. I think it has all the necessary features for a novice photographer. I think it is worth the price. I do wish the flash would be ready faster once its attached to the camera. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

    This flash does a good job improving the quality of your pictures indoors. With that being said, if you are going to do an entire photo shoot, the flash will not be able to keep up. It is a great alternative for a beginner or someone that does not want to spend big $$$ on a larger flash.

    Glad I bought it even though i was complaining about the price at first. Gives very good lighting and give you confidence when taking pictures in dim lighting. The controls are easy to use and figure out. Plus the flash isn't too heavy to carry on top of my camera. When its all said and done, I think I got a great piece off equipment for a decent price!
