For the price of the gadget that is the Canon 230EX II, with this flash you have the equivalent of 580ex II.
I do not agree with the comment of Gourin in the instructions. I find it unclear but, on that side, too, is the same story as flash notices Canon ;-)
Note that it appears to be also usable on Nikon (from the manual) but which have not tested I will say no more.
PS In addition to the ordered product, in the box there was a small pendant that I have hanging on my 70D. Although this pendant is not a commercial value, the gesture was touching and I enjoyed.
