This is a very good flash for the money. I tested it mostly on my Canon 77D. The menu system is a little confusing, but I figured it out in a few minutes by trial-and-error (I do not normally read manuals). Almost all the features work, including back curtain synchro. It also works in live view mode, both on-camera and remotely, although Canon manual says that non-Canon flashes do not work in live view. The reason I take one star off is that the auto-focus assist system of the flash turns on when the flash is in REMOTE mode, instead of being active on-camera. Must be some glitch in its software. Addition: I did more testing with my Canon T3i. It appeared that the flash does produce an autofocus-assist beam pattern with T3i (but not with 77D) when mounted on camera, and it works good. I did not see those beams anymore in REMOTE mode. Possibly, that was a temporal glitch that disappeared after reinserting the batteries.

I have been looking for an external flash that was dedicated to my Canon EOS DSLR T7i other then the Canon Speedlite since this camera was released by Canon in Feb. 2017 and finally found one. The flash works great with the electronics of the T7i. Quick delivery and a very good price. A lot more reasonable then the Speedlite. Im not saying it is good for everyone but for the type of shooting I do it is perfect.

Why would you pay full price for an original Canon flash especially if you only use your camera once in a while. If you were a hobbyist or an amateur photographer maybe. But you have to be a practical shopper. This meets all the bells and whistles an is a great flash for your DSLR. I didnt rate it a 5 star since Im not a hobbyist nor an amateur photographer so it wouldnt make it right. But for the occasional photographer that just wants to take family photos this product is what you need.
