    The focus red light messes with the photos. It is also not good with taking photos in the dark whenhabing trouble focusing. The red shows in the digital photos.

    For a amateur take pictures on vacation or just to play with its ok, but NOT for professional photography. First picture ok but in rapid shutter use the second picture is dark. I played with it using Rebel 7 and every other picture was dark during rapid fire.

    You get what you pay for. This flash does not compare to the canon speed lite. I would not recommend it for its lack of features and difficulty of use.

    The mount is broken, pops out and in instead of being snug, and I didn’t use the product until after the return period ended. Fairly useless.

    This thing worked great... for the first twenty minutes and then then the display glitched out and I couldn't read anything. Also I bought one of these previously and it kept flopping over when a lightweight modifier was attached.
