Top Rated Gear: Yongnuo YN585 TTL Speedlite Flash Type: Shoe Mount Flash, Guide Number: 190, Power Source: AA Batteries, TTL: TTL Flashes

For the price, you just can't beat this flash. While I'm not a pro by any means, I've used a Canon flash before. This (significantly cheaper) flash works just as good. There's one exception: lack of high speed sync (HSS).

Best option for the price.

Not being a camera buff, the instruction are a little complicated. However, it does take great flash photos, and I no longer have red-eye that I need to go back a fix. Its been great taking photos of our newborn grandchild because we can bounce the flash.

Nice flash, especially for the money. A person could buy an arm-load of these for what one name brand version costs. And it works great plus it has all the necessary features. Everything is controllable either manually or automatically. (Except for the included slide-out bounce card and wide-angle diffuser, of course.) And unlike a lot of costlier equivalents, this one has a battery level indicator! Every flash should have that. All in all, it is a great piece of kit to have in your bag. Even if you already have a great flash, this one is a nice inexpensive piece that won't leave you crying if it gets ruined in some rain, or sea-splash if you're lucky enough.

Too cheap not to have one in your bag

A great value. Nails the exposure time after time using P-TTL both on and off camera.  Really wish it had High Speed Sync though so I had the ability to properly expose the subject while diminishing the background exposure in moderate to bright lighting. Hoping for this in the future.
