Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Bower SFD728C: Enhancing Canon E-TTL II with TTL Autofocus Flash by Everette Jean

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's also worse for 60 โ‚ฌ

What should others know? Canon always releases a new flash, and the previous top flash cost a few hundred dollars. For $60, you're throwing away a lot less money, even if you have to throw it away. Let's put it this way: if you have a Cannon Rebel XSi that you use a few times a year, then it has all the features you need for more than just dinners and shows. What aspects of this article do you like or dislike? Selling this pup for 10% of the price of the Canon 600ex-rt required several compromises. Flash is less tolerant of rough handling. Discharging before the capacitor is ready will burn out very quickly. Capacitor recharge takes about 10 seconds (maximum TTL requirements), which is too slow for professional event imaging. If your relatives KO you over a "marriage debt" lure them out for 600 ex-rt. Plastic fittings are cheap (to save on costs). Again not professional quality. 100 to 300 (depending on TTL requirements) flashes per battery can be expensive or embarrassing. However, this gem is: Fully E-TTL II (Canon), iTTL (Nikon), ADI/PTTL (Sony) compatible. ยท Easy to adjust zoom head ยท 330ยฐ horizontal rotation ยท Inexpensive! How do you use this article? Mine sits on a radio slave attached to a cheap tripod. For about $220 I have a special remote flash for razor sharp effects. Was the item above or below expectations. Above expectations
