Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worth the money. Knockoff flashes don't compare - especially when adjusting and properly using the flash settings.

Great Flash, just a little pricey. I bought it to go with my Canon D7. It has an almost instantaneous return speed.

This flash is very good for short distance. It is compact and light weight.

Works good and would be good for a beginner or someone needing a slave flash. Works good for a primary as well

great, middle ground flash. Not the cheapest but works great on camera and for basic off camera work.

I use this flash as a back up. Recycle times are slower compared to high end models, It gets the job done.

This has great recharge rate. Flash head swivels so there will be no shadows no mater the camera angle.

Decent starter flash. Price is as expected. Canon is a great product and everything works as expected.

Better to stick with the name brand on this product. It will work with off camera shooting.

just what i was looking for, great for my uses and needs

Haven't had much time to use it yet but from what I have, it works excellent.

I bought this flash as a back up flash, but did not due the job.

Doesn't recycle light as fast as I thought it would

I use my camera daily I'm extremely happy with this purchase .

i like to buy canon products because is my best brand

This flash makes a big difference for indoor photos.

Pretty bulletproof, which isn't surprising it's Canon gear for Canon cameras. No surprises positive or negative here.

A hotshoe flash is a must for a dSLR camera to get the best pictures, especially if you are going to do any kind of indoor photography or long distance shots outside. I find this one to be the best one for my 60D. It is not as large as the 580, and since the 60D can be a wireless flash controller I don't need the 580 to be a command unit for that either. The construction is rugged and the case is nice ballistic nylon and fits it well. These flashes are very advanced and can even receive zoom data from your lens to adjust the power and focus of the flash appropriately. Additionally, it has a red AF assist light that puts out a grid on your subject allowing the AF system in the camera to have an ideal pattern to use for focusing. This is vastly improved over the strobe effect the pop-up flash will use for AF assist. It is also fully articulated and can be fired in just about any direction allowing for some really neat bounce flash effects. Additionally, it can be used wirelessly to provide off-camera flash and even comes with a stand (that slips into its own pocket in the case!) for this purpose. Some Canon cameras can act as a controller without a master unit, while others will require either a 580 or the hotshoe wireless master unit for this ability. Recycle time is very, very fast, able to fire several times a second with no noticeable whine as the capacitors charge up. I would suggest some high discharge rate (not the same as mAH capacity) NiMH batteries to feed this flash unit as quickly as possible so it is always ready. Overall, this is a must have if you are serious about taking indoor and flash photography to the next level to with your dSLR.

It says it would be compatible to my Canon Rebel T3i, however it does not.

This Flash can be used as a secondary flash for back fills on portraits.
