    Takes a little to get used to, but made well and takes great photos on a 7d mII. Price is rather high for a flash, hopefully it holds up over the long-term.

    This flash is truly amazing! I love the auto pointing adjustment and the ability to set a pointing manually then have it match that as you move the camera around. I feel I am just scratching the surface of what this flash will open up creatively.

    Just a warning. The AI is not compatible with the EOS Rebel T7 I’m disappointed but I love the flash regardless. I was told it works on all canon cameras from 2014 except T7, T6, M5, M6 and M50

    I am primarily a natural light photographer, but for the occasional indoor event, I chose this one so I don't have to overthink it. Great upgrade from my manual flash, and the TTL is nice to have.

    Great flash for beginners. Love how it assists in the bounce lighting esp when I've got it all wrong. I believe this is still a nice powerful flash that I've successfully been using for portraits

    I use this little guy when I am going to be wet or in crappy weather over my expensive Profoto flashes. Just recently explored what it can do. Pretty amazing.

    This is an amazing flash. It automatically adjusts to different bouncing positions to provide even disbursed flash for subject being photographed. Wonderful addition to Canons Cameras.

    The speedlite is great because it auto focus the amount of light needed for your shot. I'm still learning to use the bounce light option. Overall I would recommend this speedlite.

    Still getting use to the new flash but so far I love it. I am to use the flash a lot quicker than the stock flash and I can see the difference right away in low light environments.

    If you are interested in the auto bounce feature, check the list of compatible cameras first. I up graded my camera to be able to use this feature and it was well worth it.

    Cool Flash - If your camera is compatible

    I recently purchased this flash in order to start shooting weddings. I thought that the AI Flash feature would be beneficial since I am not an expert in using flash with photography. The trouble is - it's only compatible with a handful of cameras. The "semi-AI" aspect did help out, but ultimately I returned the flash in order to get a more sophisticated model.
