    This is my second Flash for my Canon. I love it. I recommend never leaving your batteries in it. I did and they leaked. So this is my 2nd flash.

    I have noticed a ton of better quality shots using this indoor. It is not too intrusive for the subject either cause it focuses without a bunch of unwanted flashing. I think that the picture quality and color spectrum is very natural looking. I really like this product but have not used any flashes other than the built in one so I am unable to compare it to much.

    Overall it's a great flash. Can be adjusted in multiple angles and settings to correspond to the settings on the camera. I shot several photos with the flash and with only the standard flash on my T4i and the results were great. Colors are much more vivid indoors and the contrast looks great. I was debating between this one and a smaller model but I am glad I chose this one. The packaging and details available in the store were a bit lacking so it was tough to know exactly what I was getting without doing a lot of internet research. It does come with a soft case as well.

    This is a great flash for an amateur photographer. It was easy to immediately use it in auto mode. I have to learn more about the other modes to use it for more creative purposes. I would definitely recommend this flash because it has a wide range of capabilities! (I have not had it long enough to comment on battery life.)

    It's not as powerful as the 500+ series; but it gets the job done if you adjust your setting properly.

    I was asked to be photographer for my child's school dance and wanted to make sure I didn't have lighting issues. Ran to BB day of the dance and figured out how to install and use at the dance (at the last minute.) It was very easy and self explanitory....all the pictures came out great! Made such a difference.
