    Works great with my Cannon T4I. Used it for my sons graduation, inside and it worked great, much better picture quality with this flash vs the flash on the camera.

    I'm not a professional photographer but purchased a DSRL without a flash so I needed a lite for those situations where a flash was necessary or where I needed some additional fill light. This unit works well and has all the basic and some advanced features that are great to have. Manual mode as well as TTL when in the proper mode in the camera. I also wanted a flash that in the future could be controlled by another flash unit remotely. This unit meets that need.

    I'm a novice when it comes to photography, and for a novice this flash is perfect. It does what I want it to do without having to read volumes of techy jargon.

    Great mid level flash for a beginner to pro. The sales person was very knowledgable and was not mistaken when he told me this was the best flash for me.

    This external Flash is excellent for the cost. I've only used it a couple of times in the home and the photos came out great. Money well spent.

    A camera without a external flash especially the canon speedlite is not living up to its potential .. Get one and you won't be dissappointed

    Gave it to my wife as a gift. She loves it and has since she first opened the box. She's not the tech savvy type so there is your measuring stick.

    This was a great upgrade from the basic 270ex I had been using. This flash has a lot more features and therefore has a significant learning curve but so far I am very happy with it. I'm a semi-professional automotive photographer and primarily use this for fill, even in bright sunshine, and it does a fantastic job.

    Necessary accessory for any serious photographer, you can do so much more with a dedicated flash as opposed to the on camera flash.
