Top Rated Gear: Canon Speedlite 90EX Flash for EOS M Compact System Camera Flash Type: Shoe Mount Flash

Beside being a portable flash for my Canon EOS M and 6D, it is also a excellent alternative remote trigger master unit for my rebel T5 (which does not feature the wireless flash trigger when pair with my 320EX and 270 EX II.

Excellent Wireless Remote Trigger Master Alternative

I got this for my 5Dmk 4 as it does not have a popup.  I often need just a little fill outdoors.  It is also great for informal shots where most people use a pop up.

Perfect for fill

I bought it to carry around with my 6D as it does not come with a built in flash. this flash works fine for close range. However, this take a loooong time to recharge for the next shot (aprox 6 seconds. if you do not take photos in rapid succession this will work fine as a fill light for shadows in close range or catch light.

Nice little flash light

After I finally received my Canon Speedlite 90EX I was a bit surprised about the size. But after I tried in out on my PowerShot SX-50 it worked fine with no problems as I read on some comments on the Internet. I took one shot in a darkened room and the photo came out looking like day light. I am completely satisfied with the 90EX as I have always been with my past Canon Cameras.

Full Satisfaction

Only have done some test shots with the flash and appears to do the job.

Nice little flash.

Really like the portability, the output seems good, control is nice. Only negative is you can't aim it.

This would also be a great little flash on your main DSLR, since it can act as a controller for other Canon flashes.

Very portable, but not articulated

good flash, small in size, which makes it really portable. if you have a camera that doesn't have a build-in flash (like 5d), this is a good substitute to build-in flash. It is on a slow side, just like build-in flash sometimes, where if you take a shot, you have to wait for several seconds before you can take another shot (if you don't wait, you can still take the shot, but flash wouldn't fire). the range of the flash is comarable to a build-in flash range. 

bottom line: if you need a good flash, you should go for more high-end versions, but if you need a portable flash that you would use on occasion, and you don't have a build-in flash, this is a good buy.

base level flash

I ended up buying this flash after buying the EOS M. The "M" doesn't have a flash and there are many situations where you need one. The 90E was made for the "M" and really should have some with it. I bought it based on the size, but Canon sells other more powerful flashes for less money reducing the value of this flash. Functionally it does the job and plays nicely with other flashes.
