beautiful flash for small non-SLR body like that of a G series. its response to dark interiors is as good as the in-camera flash of the G12 (for example) or even better depending on how well you adjust the settings. I use it to overcome the shadow caused by the presence of the FA DC58B adapter that blocks part of the light out of the in-camera flash; the 270EX is very good as a attached equipment to your small size powershot particularly when you expect the performance is around that of a 2 AA batteries (control on the 270ex is limited to OFF/ON button), and that many flashes would be too bulky (when mounted) thus defeating the purpose of having a G series. Along with the RD2000C this flash would be well-recommended although I noticed that shooting in interiors does not necessarily yield (all the time) bright results any better than if the in-camera flash were used. I still like this beauty to be on my G12 anytime... considering the pricey tag; thus, I am be somewhat reluctant to give it a full 4 stars.Read full review
The build-in flash on a Canon EOS Rebel T5 SLR works great since it is obviously tied to the internal computer system. It has several short comings: 1) It's weak; 2) It creates a shadow with some lenses; 3) there is no capability to bounce the flash off the ceiling; 4) It has a fixed light pattern designed for wide angle lenses; 5) there's no provision for softer lighting so the shadows are always harsh. The 270EX speedlight solves all of these problems. It's brighter and sits about 2 inches higher thus working with most lenses. It can be set for wide angle or telephoto. The flash can be aimed forward, up, or angled to bounce flash. A lamp defuser can be attached to reduce harshness. And, most important, it still works in conjunction with the camera's computer. I am completely satisfied.Read full review

This is an excellent compact flashgun for Canon bodies. Easy to use with automatic TTL metering and the added versatility of zoom and bounce. Conveniently small to keep in the camera bag with a couple of spare AA batteries. A substantial improvement on the consumer DSLR pop-up flash, and essential for a 5D3 with no built in flashgun. Battery life is good and recycle time is reasonably fast with good batteries. My only small complaint is the lack of manual trigger like I'm used to on all my other flashguns, but for what this is designed for it's not a big deal.
This is one of the best flashes i have ever owned.. Canon did a really great job. The flash is super light weight. The pouch is great, it has the inner fleece in side to prevent scratches to the body. The battery life is great I use 2 rechargeble Energizers. The range of the flash for me is perfect as I shoot super close range of people. The swivel action on the head is exactly what I needed.
Easy to use
