Cons:defect only PARZIALE (see review): orientable "only" upwards
Opinion:I don't like flashes, first of all because they are almost always big and bulky. Secondly, I love to shoot the subjects with the light available in the surrounding environment. But often the light is not enough, and after a few years of digital photography and fights with the noise due to the high ISO, I had to resign myself to the purchase of an external flash (also due to the fact that the Canons from series 6 and up are without it). The choice, given the first of the reasons why the flashes disliked me, fell on the smallest of the dedicated Canon flashes, this 270 EX II. The cost is more than reasonable, and the weight of just over 2 hectare (including batteries!) made my choice fall on it. So, among the pro-year I definitely price, weight and small size. Given these merits, a further value that I would like to include is the fact that it can be oriented vertically. The impossibility of rotating it horizontally would be a con, but it is a defect absolutely due to the above merits (small and light, the further junction was certainly not achievable without structural problems). So a "half" counter, which as a result has the need to use the front-facing flash in case of vertical photos. To be combined with high-quality rechargeable batteries (Eneloop and similar) since, if the two aA batteries needed are the classic ones (Duracell/Energizer etc.) or the rechargeable "supermarket" will be frustratingly poor!
Pros:Small, articulated upward and the comparison with the integrated flash of the EOS M50...!!!
Cons:I would say no for its price and size.
Opinion:Taken to pair with my EOS M50, and is spectacular, small, sufficently powerful and articulated upwards, I coupled it to an omni bounce diffuser and makes a beautiful light in the portraits, the comparison with the M50 mini Flash is like day and night. Lho taken used by a girl and is practically new (€70), zero scratches and I am completely satisfied, small and powerful articulated for a mirrorless like the M50. Rated 10.
Cons:Very little, maybe the fact overestimate it and ask him what he can not do ...
Opinion:Compact, ideal for fill-flashes but also to ambientati portraits. Good construction, easy to use and discreet possibility of bascularlo top; cheaply made and so, as they say. I can compensate the power with high ISO, afforded the opportunity - from higher range flash - to act as a slave to another device with more power. Be highly recommended.
Pros:Compact, powerful, well built, short recharge, locking system on the sled and easily.
Cons:Yes it can only orient the head upward.
Opinion:Purchased for its compactness, it does absolutely regret flashes Canon's most powerful; fast charging in, on occasion need to give him an extra stop pressing the camera's menu, but not a big problem; You can also use the flash bounce; the only real limit is not being able to rotate horizontally.
