Opinion:I bought this new flash two years ago on the internet at a very advantageous price (180 €). I am satisfied; it has a guide number 47, so not very powerful but sufficient in most situations as far as I am concerned. The artificial intelligence I found convenient on some occasions, you can shoot without worrying about how to orient the flash. Be careful, however, because this function is not compatible with all cameras, but from a certain series onwards. I also find the semi-automatic mode convenient, with which once the orientation of the flash is chosen by the photographer, it is automatically maintained if you rotate the camera. Obviously the flash can also be used in totally manual mode and also in wireless mode. I recommend it for amateur or semi-professional use and if bought at an advantageous price. In general, canon flashes cost too much and often the competition offers products with a better quality/price ratio.
Opinion:Purchased for my new R5, not just a great flash user and I was always messed up when I had to use it... With this canon you really have an easy life. Simple to use and immediate. Not being a frequent user of flash I can not give a judgment on in-depth use in the professional field but for those who do not have much desire to get rid of this flash is ideal!
Cons:Poor guide number. Insufficient AI technology, not performing for ceremonial times. Bad for professional use.
Opinion:Bought deceived by the new AI performances. Not at all suitable regardless of the environment in which you shoot. The right lighting you'd like isn't what he decides. Many times I had to turn off AI automatism with that blessed rotating head going where he wanted it. I never understood what parameters his measurement was based on. Lots of shots thrown. Sold after 3 months and monetized immediately, I found the excellent Godox V1C, another planet.
