This is a fantastic flash. Easy to use, light weight. And the slide lock is so much easier then the screw on ones.

Works great (especially with an added on diffuser). I haven't mastered the art of the included self-swiveling technology but using it manually is great. Eats away at AA batteries just like any other flash.

This was a great addition to my camera back. The AI is a great feature, make sure that your camera is compatible with the flash for AI to work, as some models are not compatible with that feature.

Great AI based bounce calculations, Great for someone just getting into flash bounce . Also great for experienced people as it gives you the peace of mind and helps focus on the concepts rather than bounce angles

This is a very good quality flash. However, the AI does not work very well with the year of my camera. I would do a little more research to verify if the AI works with your particular camera

I bought a speed light to use with my R6. It works completely as advertised,. There are many YouTube videos that show how to use.it. Canon quality can’t be beat.

This flash is really amazing. Great for people that aren't great with bounce flash angles. Even if you do it manually, this flash works great with high speed sync photography

This speedlite literally allows me to shoot in different indoor settings while taking the guesswork out of deciphering the best angle to illuminate my subject.

Wow, I picked up this flash a little late but as they say, better late than never! I originally used my wonderful Canon 430EX II as often as I could but I’m not as patient as others and didn’t use it properly because of not learning to do so the right way. But this new phenomenon of a flash does everything for me and just about always perfect! Kind of scary as it sets itself into position right before every shot after a quick setup and that’s it!
It’s basically fool proof but it also has a manual mode for those that still want to be a bit old school!
You need to try it out! I’m glad I did!
