This small flash is wonderful as I find its guide number of 27 is perfect for interior shots ausreichend.Die Most rooms have white ceilings thus also bounce flash without problems possible. A small group of people you can with this lightning too easily ausleuchten.Im absolute emergency rotation I hold the ISO high .A slightly noisy picture is better than no Bild.Im open the flash operate over short distances and still very good.
True that is to make the flash at the initial charge audibly noticeable, but this bright sound is only about 4-5 seconds. persistently then the flash is ready and you hear in only if you put your ear to the flash which will never be the case in practice.
In the big flashes you can adjust directly on the flash itself the flash output. That's not the 270EX II. Here you have the brightness on the display in the cam menu (Q) set this scale goes from minus 3 to 0 to plus. 3
More often I read that the flash output has been criticized. The gripe is at very high levels in my opinion and is spread by people who are either spoiled by her big flashes or never had an external flash and now expect that brings the revelation here with him.
Want more you pay more .Then buys you just a 430EX II or the new 600EX RT.
Considering, however, always with the just weigh these variants even more, and noticed more, cost more and require more batteries!
Yes! then they can then more but who cares for this small variation examined in my opinion anyway no chandeliers of Buckingham Palace can illuminate.
With this flash you buy understatment and no light giants.
Man falls precisely on not so hot, yet has more power than the pop-up flash provides you ever would.
It has also 4 great features!
1. folding function (for bounce flash)
2. Salve function (separate flashes of the cam)
3. remote release (which also supports the bulb mode!)
4. High-speed mode (images for example 1 / 8000s possible)

. 1
the flash has 2 stages the distance can be changed by the extension of the flash.
Normal = Wide = extended telephoto.
"Tele" is also on top of the flash on it when he has gone out, so there is never a risk of confusion.
My 5D Mark III indicates to me that the flash to normal a scattering angle of 28mm and 50mm at the telephoto position has now you can it in stages to 90 ° directed degrees upward.
. 2
The small flash has the back of the housing 2 switches a lock switch on secure mounting on hot shoe
and a switch it on, off, or switch to the salvo function.
The Salve function is to use super and worked with my Canon 60D properly as well it has in connection with the 580EX II as a master flash on the 5D Mark 3 therefore works Top.Schade but the 270EX II of any master function has.
. 3
The remote shutter works very well .The button it is located separately on the side
It works via infrared short distances. No line of sight is = no tripping.
Can the remote release function properly need at the Cam of 2sec. or 10sec. Pre-trigger can be selected.
In bulb mode this remote trigger works Perfect 1 times for press Go again press for Stop.
. 4
In general you can reach with the internal flash only folding shutter speeds of up to 200-250 / s.
Here it is different you put on your cam a high-speed mode even ultrafast shutter speeds of 1 / 8000s are possible.
The Who unthinkable with the folding flash back a reason to buy more for the 270EX II)
: Conclusion:
+ Interesting for people with a camera without flash folding (1D, 5D, 6D)
+ It costs less money than the large variations
+ If you do not want to be noticed once so hot (muggers, unasked documentaries)
+ If you have to save weight or wants.
+ Perfect as external Salve possibility or replacement as a remote shutter release.
-If You ever need more power, for example in bright sunlight at greater distances or in the dark for large groups.
-For people who urgently it should also not be suitable require a 360 ° swivel head.
