Great piece of kit and does exatly what its meant to do. Not difficult to set up with the hotshoe connection. Interface on the flash is very easy to use and to scroll through. Great piece of kit at a reasonable price.

My first flash so I can't really compare. It works and it works well so no complaints! The manual is a little difficult to understand but I got the hang of it in the end!
