Is this flash compatible with a Canon 70D? Is this flash better than 430EX ?

This flash is compatable with the Canon 70D, and as to whether it is better than the 430EX, the 600EX-RT does have a lot of functionality ranging from stroboscopic flash mode to automatic flash exposure to pretty much anything you could want from the flash. The downside, of course, is that the 600EX-RT is significantly larger and significantly heavier than the 430EX.

Hi Cheri, Not sure what flash you're using. I use this on my canon 580ex II and 430 ex. It works fine.

For ETTL they'd have to be Canon compatible, but even then I'd check with the Phottix user groups/user communities about each specific flash you have in mind.

The Canon website specs for the GP-E2 states that is is compatible with the 70D. I would want to know if it utilizes the flash shoe like the 5D Mark III. The 7D must use a USB cable and has some limitations.

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

should be compatible with all canon's camera. this lens is a great flash and it works as well as the 430exii with the only real exception is that the plastic is higher quality on the canon line. this flash is definitely worth buying. it proves the quality of our starter cameras a whole lot.

Canon sent out BIOS updates for compatability with the 270EX, if your camera has this update it should be compatable with it.Does my Canon SX20IS have the BIOS update compatability for the 270EX?Will the Canon 270EX sync with my Canon SX20IS?I recently purchased a VIVITAR AF SLR FLASH FOR CANON and had very poor results with picture quality. I later found out (from Canon), this unit will not sync with my Canon SX20IS. It is advertised to be used with Canon products.

The flash will work fully automatic and manual for the 450D. There is a list of the Canon bodies it is compatible with under the flash name.

I have a 430EX II Canon flash and it works fine! Granted, I'm not using the two cold shoe mounts it comes with because my "Aputure 2.4 Ghz Trigmaster" has a shoe mount attached to it and the bottom screws into place of where the shoe mounts would be. So whether you're using the shoe mounts or just the screws under the shoe mounts to attached a flash or a wireless adapter. I promise you it will work with this product. I highly recommend. Your flash will sit on the Softbox as shown in the picture if not using another add on.

I know this flash is sold in two different versions, one for Canon and one for Nikon. I do not know which models of Nikon it is supposed to work with. I was NOT SATISFIED with the performance with a Canon, in fact it burned completely out the first time I tried to use it.

I think I'd go for the Canon 430EX II instead for $250 -- much more power and you can bounce the flash in either landscape or portrait orientation.

I can respond to you only with the flash models I have tried. It works with the Fuji EF 42 very well but it serves only to sync with the camera, no TTL functionality though. You have to set the aperture manually on the camera corresponding to the Guide number of the flash. This trigger does not work very well with the Canon 430 Ex since the 430 has some problems with radio transmitters. I've successfully used this trigger with the Sony RX 100Mk2 and the Fuji as I have previously mentioned. Would this work with the Yongnuo, it probably will but I'm not sure. Then again Yongnuo has its own dedicated triggers so why would you want to use this set?

Yes. The 580 ex is a great flash. I've rented it several times and used it with my 5D mark iii. My favorite feature is that it allows for remote flash, i.e. the flash doesn't have to be connected the camera body. No matter what your flash needs are, the 580 ex will cover it. If you have the money, buy it.

Yes it is compatible with the 70D. I popped this lens on my friend's 70D and we did not see any compatibility issues.

I am using this flash with my Olympus Evolt E-420. It works fine, sometimes too much flash. (That me not knowing what I'm doing.)

It should be compatible. It worked fine on my 50D for a short period of time. Then, I pushed too hard to get the angle correct to bounce off the ceiling for a portrait and the mount, which is made of plastic, broke. If you can be really careful, it seemed to be a decent entry-level TTL flash, but it might be worth looking for one with a metal base if you can spend a little more.
