    So happy I bought this flash. Being in my first 2 years of being a Photographer/Videographer, I always knew one would help, but I did not realize it would be this much. One of my favorite buys so far.

    Fash was recommended to me by a professional photographer friend and it is easy to use on both the higher end point and shoot and DSLR cameras.

    This is a really good camera when you are just learning about taking great pictures. It is easy to assemble and pretty easy to navigate. Also when there is something you do not know about the camera, it isn't to hard to look up how to do whatever it is your looking to do. Also it has really great battery power that lady's a long time. When you are somewhere and want to take a extensive amount of different size and different types of pictures, this is the camera for you.

    New to external flashes but has worked well both by using it through the camera connection and via remote. Seems to keep up. Flew through regular batteries, so invest in rechargeables.

    This flash is awesome! Bought a cheaper Canon flash when I bought my 70D, big mistake! Didn't think the flash would make that big of a difference, WRONG! It did, pictures are a lot better now!

    bought it for my wife who's the photo taker in the family, she loves it and is now taking even more photos than before, much better results in low light conditions than the built-in flash

    This flash was in my price range. I admit that it's not the brightest flash out there. But it still does a great job. And it helps to have a reflector or bounce to extend the range.

    For the price and quality this flash meets all the expectations required of a device of this caliber. It fires effectively, fills harsh shadows, and lights up dark venues. What more can you say about a good flash?

    This is my first flash and, so far, it has worked out very well. I've been able to capture great pictures in instances where my built-in flash would not have provided enough light.

    This flash unit is well built and has all the functionality most serious photographers need. When paired with a compatible Canon camera, the flash and camera operate as one.

    Perfect pairing with Canon T4i

    Purchased this after I read several reviews. Great purchase - works perfect with the T4i especially since it can be used as a remote flash. I have seen several third party flashes and was a little hesitate but an very glad I did purchase since it works perfect with the Canon. I am a armature/beginner to photography and I can't believe the difference this flash makes versus the pop-up flash on the camera. Make sure and purchase a diffuser to soften the flash. Excellent zoom function that matches camera zoom. Overall great flash !

    This flash was everything I thought it would be and more. I use it on my T5i and it creates wonderful light when I bounce it. (I never use direct flash). If I don't have a wall or ceiling then I can just use my home made flash bender while I wait for a rogue flash bender. Switch it to speed flash mode and you can just automatically bump up the shutter speed and everything just works.

    a newbie in photography..was told absolute must to get a speedlite. Now i know why. Right light control will produce awesome pics. On board flash creates zombie looks..speedlite flash makes warm bodies. If only they can make it lighter.... otherwise 5 stars!!
