As of April 2009, the firmware can be updated on older models by TOCAD America to enable it to work with a 5DMkII, which can have issues with non-Canon flashes. Their turn-around is very quick...."

    Not bad, but a little weak for bounce

    "I bought this to use as a bounce flash for taking indoor bounced snapshots. I'm using it on a Rebel XS. It works fairly well, but I have had to tinker a bit to get consistent output. I find I ALWAYS have to set the exposure compensation up to +1 (maximum). Luckily there is a button on the back for this, so it is easy. Next I find I pretty much have to use ISO 400. I can use ISO 100 or 200, but then I have..." Read Full Review »

    "I love this tiny little flash. It is perfect for vacations when you don't want to tote a huge 430 or 580EX along. The bounce capability is great so you can get some nice diffuse light. I also love how the foot can be folded into the body so it crunches down into an easy to pack unit.One thing to …"  Read Full Review »

    "I bought this small flash for its portability and ability to allow ceiling bounced shots.



    This flash is very light and compact and fits well atop my Canon G10. I also own the 420EX flash, but its size and weight makes the G10 difficult to hold and balance.

    Cheaper than the Canon Speedlite units but equally as durable and as versatile and flexible as the Canon Speedlite 270EX.



    I use this on my Canon G10 and this flash unit is less of a space-occupying unit than the 270EX. Ver handy! I'm glad I …"  Read Full Review »
