    I am an armature photographer who is using this flash with my Canon T4i. I have yet to have a bad photograph taken using the automatic mode with any of the three (3) lenses (two image stabilised zoom lenses{18mm-55mm & 50mm-250mm} & one fixed focal length 50mm manual lens) that I use with this camera. Some of the photos were taken with direct flash and some with bounce flash. Manual override of the auto feature is available but I have not used it to date.

    The speed for fast shooting and more features than most will ever use. Makes a world of difference over built in flash in my T2i.

    This flash was recommended by a friend. I'm so glad I took his word and bought it. It is the perfect amount of flash to fill in dark spots indoors and outdoors. Very pleased with the purchase and it was on sale at the time!

    Very happy with this model so far - like the automatic TTL when I need it - vs the old days of always settings things up manually.

    I was looking for a flash for my T1i and prefer to stick with the same make as the camera. It is a great match! The bounce feature with a diffuser makes some very nice soft light.

    I looked at a lot of flashes, but glad I took the extra step and purchased this one. It has everything I want out of a flash and more. Now I just need to educate myself to get the most use out of it.

    I was shooting a family members wedding and this flash was wonderful. I was able to take some "soft" shots and the speed was great to catch them walking out of the church.

    I'm very happy with this flash. One nice test and to show that is was worthwhile was regular camer flashes could not reach the distance of a stage for my stepdaughters receitle, but the Speedlite does.
