    I bought this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The ability to bounce the light exactly where it needs to be in a split second makes this unit well worth it. And let’s not forget happy wife equals happy life!

    I don’t know how I photographed wedding receptions without this before!! Amazing flash with auto-bounce capabilities. I love that you can set it to a certain angle, and then when you move from horizontal to a vertical orientation the flash moves too! So cool and makes for beautiful photos!

    Took me couple of hours to figured it out, but once I did, everything works great. Photos came out perfect. Love the AI bounce. Not all functions works with older cameras so check to make sure yours will before buying. My only complaint is that the AI bounce button to too hard to press.

    The canon 470ex is amazing. I’ve had my speedlite for a few weeks and can’t see myself without it. Not to mention the looks on individual’s face when they see what it can do.
