Donot buy if your dslr have a pop up flash. This wont give much better result than your pop up flash. If you are a dslr user, looking for first flash experience go for 430exII or other low cost compatible models.
It is strictly for compact camera users.Not for DSLR.

Easy To Use

270EX II is a great flash for the price. It's better than the built in flash on my Canon T1i. Tilting it all the way to the top gives a nice even fill to the room. The remote trigger feature is awesome. Don't need an additional remote for group photos. Built is sturdy.

Compact; Easy To Use; Lightweight

I purchased this item after looking for a speedlite for months. As a student I was looking for a good quality product at a reasonable price. I hit both those targets with this purchase.

This flash has added a depth of color to my pictures especially the pictures that I take inside. I really can see the difference. I'm so glad that I chose this flash.

Attach Securely; Flexible; Durable; Small lightweight

Good Flash, very good for taking pictures in the house

I purchased the 270EX II for my Canon Rebel T5 because I could not stand the built in flash. The built in flash was weak and the fixed frontal position did not provide the proper lighting for my camera subjects.
