Okay, first off I am not a pro-photographer so I can't tell you how this flash compares to higher quality type, but from my perspective this delivers all that's promised. Also as an added bonus it includes a built-in wide panel and a reflection board, which give some really good results. Just wanted to mention that because I did not see it in the description. I shoot with a T3I and it works perfectly in sync with the camera. One thing I can't comment on is how it works wirelessly, but when it's used in manual mode it has lived up to my expectations. Changing angles is easily achieved and it also marks the degrees (45,60,75,90) which is nice when you're unsure. All in all, in my opinion, this is the flash to get when photography is a hobby, a learning experience, and/or an every day use (kids, family, etc) . Hope this helps.

P.S. One thing I forgot to mention, this flash does NOT work in live view. Canon makes it so that only their flashes are designed to let you fire while... Read more

no frills flash for off-camera use, October 18, 2011

This flash is bare bones. there is no zoom feature (automatic or manual). The only options are the different modes (manual, slave1, slave2), power outputs (full down to 1/128th power), as well as a test button. build quality is on-par for an inexpensive flash.

For those that are expecting an amazing flash unit for the price, you will be disappointed.

If, however, you are looking for some inexpensive off-camera flashes, than these may be for you. the optical slave mode works just fine, firing off whenever the unit sees another flash fire.

they are so inexpensive, they can do the "dirty work" you don't want your expensive flashes to do. if they happen to fall and break? no worries, they are cheap enough to replace.

I've only had this unit for less than a week, but so far, it works as I expected it to. Would I ever mount this on my camera to use? never. would I use it as an off-camera slave? that's what I bought it for.

If anything... Read more
