Actually, I first wanted to buy no flash, or to move later, where but the 700D has a built-in flash. In the low price compared to genuine Canon but then I could not resist. I've then taken with flash are a few tips to take pictures and could for a few quick portraits randomly implement the same times. What can I say: With the direct camera flash which would not have been as good by far - I have also compared directly. And for bounce flash in "normal" rooms need flash output and even local vending. Why I prefer from a star? The menu structure reveals itself to me not quite and has no operating instruction is not just self-explanatory. Had placed the flash times unwittingly to Manual and have (without instructions) but needed some time to re-E-TTL stood on the display and the images were not flashes hopeless ... Next I criticize the enormous weight (but have no comparison, so I draw nothing from) and the hot shoe with locking wheel from plastic. The weight of the flash I would have liked the metal equal to or another solution. But somehow you have indeed come to this price ...
Toll I find that a diffuser and a "white cards" are already installed and simply (fingernails desired) can be pulled out and folded forward. Why do I still an extra diffuser (as a white paper) should now do, she will not reveal to me entirely. Presumably the light is thereby even softer ...
By the way: The way I understand it, this flash works with all Canon models, which are equipped with E-TTL. That's why I've also "dared", this flash "blind" to appoint for the 700D. Works of course without any problem!
