Loses Sync
Loved this flash for many years, but these flashes are no longer reliable and lose sync with the trigger. Likely due to radio interference from either wifi or cell signals. I have 3 of them and 2 triggers and they are essentially worthless for intended purpose now.

Unreliable radio connection
Very unreliable radio connection in settings with Wi-Fi interference; like everywhere other than a park. There is no fix. Problem is well documented on Canon user forum.
It's a shame as the build quality and feature set is up to canon standards. It's just useless if you need reliable off camera flash.

600EX-RT very nice
I really like it. Took it on an indoor museum shoot and it did well. I didn't have time to read the manual but got a few things figured out. The photos turned out much better than I anticipated.

Excellent unit
The speed lite integrates perfectly with Canon cameras. Powerful and consistent. The strobe-light is particularly useful for action photography. The lcd screen is intuitive and easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

Extras Make A Difference
I received my order on time. I paid the same price I would have paid on other sites but Adorama offered extra gear at no additional price. They were nice goodies too! Besides, Adorama is a camera store. I would rather buy from someone who knows what they are selling.

Read My Review in Contrast to Other
This flash is BIG improvement over the 420 EX and 580 EX! Weather resistant seals, much improved locking mechanism, a lot of getting used to in features available.
Mine worked perfectly out of the box with or without the flash cord on my 7D. Unfortunately the 7D doesn't have wireless, just optical, triggering. But still, all WITHOUT any cords to come unplugged, short out, etc. etc.
The other reviewer should have contacted Adorama with his problem instead of just complaining about it! They'd have solved it, quickly. Always have for me.

Flash great but kit items poorly matched
The Flash works straight out of the box when mounted directly on EOS 5D Mark III but no way to attach flash to kit supplied fash bracket with kit supplied off camera TLL cord because their is no male hot shoe mount on one end of the cord. The flash bracket packaging clearly shows an off-camera TTL cord with male portion of a hot shoe mount on both ends of the cord. Look at the picture of the flash bracket and you will see a hot shoe clamp where the flash attaches. Now look at the off camera TTL cord and it is flat on the bottom on the end where the flash attaches terefore there is no way to fasten the cord end attached to the flash to the hot shoe clamp on the flash bracket making the flash bracket virtually useless.
