    Great product. It’s very easy to connect and use but a little heavy

    This is a fantastic flash. As a professional photographer, one of the reasons I stick with Canon is the quality and performance of this flash. The 550 EX was excellent for years, the 600 EX II-RT is even better!

    These are great! Simple to set up, easy to use and they work great! I use them with rechargeable batteries and it will usually last for several hours of photographing receptions!

    Easy to use. Easy to setup. The only difficulty is if you are trying to link multiple flashes sometimes. However this flash packs a punch and comes with some great accessories. It was a great edition to my Camera Set.

    This external flash replaces a generic cheap one and I'm so glad that I upgraded. The Speedlite 600EX II-RT is now an extension of my camera. The indoor pictures I took last night look very good. The flash put out the right amount of light to produce a great photo in a dimly lit room.

    This thing is built like a tank. It’s larger than I expected. I haven’t had time to use it yet but I know a lot of pro’s use it and I’m not a professional but I wanted a flash that I could use as my talents progress. So far so good!

    Very powerful flash and also very large. I find teh quality of light on my images to be much better looking. Highly recommend. But do keep in mind, flash is very large, almost twice as large as my ex 430

    This flash, though a little pricier than the 400 series, is amazing. It has taken my photography to a whole new level and I'm so glad I didn't bother with the lower level flash only to spend more money for an upgrade later. Definitely worth the extra I paid to get the better flash.

    I absolutely love that this syncs easily with my Canon 6D. I upgraded from another brand and it’s so easy to adjust manual settings. It executed the amount of light I needed every time. Great flash for big venues or outdoor shoots. Highly recommend!

    i purchased a CANON EOS 80D in AUGUST 2016. When I needed a external flash for the camera, I decided on the Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT. IT WORKS EXCELLENT.

    This flash is great! It is so much brighter than my 4oo model, and goes down to 1/128 for manual flash! I have been wanting one of these for a while, and it did not disappoint!

    This is Canon's top of the line speedlite. Fast recycle rate and lots of power to light up a wide range of subjects. This flash is, IMO, the best choice for event photographers due to its ability to use an external battery pack for even faster recycling.

    Go to flash for me in all my shooting which gives enough up to 200 mm zoom. Never disappointed me with its powerful throw and always enhanced my pictures

    A bit of a learning curve to get all its features into my head but so easy to use and powerful once i got it down. Fast recycle makes shooting fast easy too.
