Canon Speedlite 380EX - A Great Choice!
The Canon Speedlite 380EX is one of Canon's older electronic flash units, but it still works great with all of their digital SLR's. It has bounce capability, and automatically adjusts for lenses from 24 to 105mm. It properly lights pictures, is reasonably compact, and you can find them available in great condition for $50 or less. Why pay more for the latest & greatest, when a flash unit like this does the job for so little money.

Good flash for average user.
The newer Canon flash units are more hi-tech with more features. This flash has everything I need. I use with a Canon G5 and G11. Fits the G5 better it's a little big for the G11. Recycles quickly/

Merry Christmas!
I bought it for my daughter and I'm not even sure she has tried it yet, but she was excited on Christmas day! And, KEH shipped it right away. Thanks so much.

I don't have to have the latest if older gently used works. This flash does everything I want it to do at a reasonable price. Thank you.

Useless
It is not compatible with my T6i Canon. I wouldn't suggest anyone buy it for that reason. At least buy a Speedlite 380EX II, or you are wasting your money!

It works fine.
It's a Canon Speedlite. Original Canon. It works great considering there are newer ones out there. This one works for me.
