    Works perfectly and very beginner friendly! It wasn’t hard to get a hang of. The only thing I’d say is if you don’t know already, you have to get batteries separately.

    This flash comes with two diffusers, and a carrying case. I can carry this with me in my camera bag and is easy to connect to my camera quickly. This flash is a perfect fit for my photography needs.

    Researched multiple flashes for the Canon EOS 70D, including third-party flashes. While several non-Canon flashes are compatible and have decent reviews, by the time you find one that has the same capabilities as this flash, you are saving around $50. For something that you want the full faith and support of a large corporation with a US presence, go with the name brand and save yourself the heartache of not being to get service on an off-brand.

    bought this bc my 3 600exrt flashes are too big and heavy for personal/travel photos. obviously wont be as strong as the bigger flash but perfect size and weight if youre just a casual shooter. i dont use this flash as key light unless i'm close to subject but works perfectly with 600ex rt system as ocf on lightstand. love the menu system on this more than 600

    I sold all of my previous flashes and bought these. Previous flashes include Canon's 580exII, 580ex, and 430exII. The Good: First off, if you're a Strobist or an off-camera speedlighter, sell everything you own and get these. The RF signaling system and fully independent group controls right from your master device will change everything for you. Already using RadioPoppers or a PocketWizard FlexTT system? Welcome to a new world of reliability, simple setup, and battery life. Going into "Gr" mode on the master flash, I can independently tell up to five different groups to operate in full eTTL mode (plus adjust each group's FEC) OR shift one, some, or all groups into M mode with full power controls on each group. I do this right from the flash itself, or from the screen on my 5d mark III.

    For the price, this is a great entry level flash for beginners of flash photography such as myself. Easy setup and controls as well as flexibility of off camera remote use. I am looking forward to getting creative with upcoming projects.

    I wanted a full-featured flash for my Canon T7i that I could learn and grow with that was specifically made for and by Canon. I have used aftermarket flashes with other cameras in the past but was never sure that my experience (or lack of-) was to blame for some failures or the flash itself. Now I can eliminate the compatibility issue and learn from my mistakes.

    For those who do not need the most powerful flash available this is the flash for you and will satisfy all of your needs . It is more compact than it's big brother but has a lot of power for most any need. The radio and optical capabilities are excellent and the included bounce adapter and color adapter are an added bonus. You will not be disappointed with this flash!
