  • Best Speedlite on the market and an indispensable tool for EOS photographers
A brilliant Speedlite, the best Canon has made, and I think the best currently on the market. I have three, and if I had the budget, I'd buy three more tomorrow. Combined with the ST-E3-RT transmitter, setting up complex lighting arrangements is a snap, and all easily controlled right from the back of the camera. (Background for frame of reference - I moved up from 580EX II and 430EX II Speedlites, and have never used the original 600EX.) The Speedlite is very well built, weather sealed, and powerful. Throw in a set of eneloop batteries, and it recycles very fast. Since getting my current set of Speedlites and transmitter, my strobes have yet to leave the studio, and have sat quietly more and more frequently in studio. The freedom, and the creativity that allows, granted by the Speedlites makes using them so much more enjoyable. You can find much cheaper flashes to be sure, but it's hard to go wrong with the Canon's for quality, reliability, and integration with the EOS system. ... show more

  • Perfect addition to my camera
I bought this to use with my Canon 5D Mark four and start practicing with off-camera flash techniques./Is great for off-camera use with a 24 x 24 soft box and it also works fantastic as it is intended as an on camera flash. I like the fact that there's multiple adjustability with it and that is really intuitive to use. Just note that if you're using this off camera then you will need to have a trigger in order to fire the flash with the camera. I bought the Canon trigger and everything works flawlessly. ... show more

  • Great capabilities for a flash
I am a nature photographer, I love the possibilities this flash brings to my photography. As you can see from the picture of a gliding frog, it brings movement. I own several other flash units but this one has the capabilities I was looking for and it is easy enough to operate in order to get these kinds of pictures. The opportunities to bring movement into my pictures opens a whole new world. I have had this for a week and so far I am pleased. ... show more

  • Finally...after 30+ years!
I must say I really like this new upgrade to the 600EX-RT. I have the first version and I never really liked it but I was still unsure whether I should try this one or not...I haven't really been impressed with any flashes of the past...So I was thinking why bother, as none of them ever really did what they were supposed to do...You had to do... A LOT of trial and error shots to dial it in as close as possible. Now comes this flash...I have done all kinds of test shots and each one of the original setting shots, was spot on. I hated using ETTL as it never worked but, on this flash...It does! The build quality is upgraded and you feel the differences on the On/Off switch and buttons, it is much better... Really fast recycle times, good battery life and the UI settings is really simple and easy to use...I did notice the recycle times were a little longer in Manual @ 1/1 flash exposure...but I have never really needed 1/1 for anything I shoot. I do/did shoot mostly in Manual as I hated the ETTL results...but with this flash..I will be spreading my visual flash wings so to speak and trying new things as I am sure the results will be what I have been wanting and looking for all these years...with a flash! I have shot Canon for 30+ years and I finally have a great flash...way to go Canon! On the Con...side...the new pouch is just horrible...way to bulky to carry around...bad design...I switched the pouches from the old 600ex-rt and like it much better...some things should not be changed. ;) I will definitely be adding a couple more of these to my equipment list and will be buying from Murphys Camera on Amazon.com! ... show more

  • Glad I could still get one!
Canon has quit making these Speedlites for DSLR cameras. I was shocked since I use mine for photojournalism all the time.

  • Great can flash
Great can flash. The only problem I had with it was I have a brand new Canon 5D Mark four and this brand-new flash. When I first put the flash on top of the camera hot shoe, it would not seat properly so the ETTL did not work properly. Properly. I simply unseated and see again and it started working. I have since used it again and it works fine. I guess this was simply an issue of a one time thing. Other than the price, I would have given us five stars. But as is normal for Cameron, whenever a new item comes out they charge the maximum. I might update this review after I use the flash several more times. ... show more

  • BEST CANON FLASHES
I am in LOVE with these flashes. They talk to each other so I don't have to have a bunch of transmitters/receivers.
