(More customer reviews)I initially got this to use as an off-camera flash to hang as a hairlight off a boom. It has an optical flash trigger but I was going to rig it with a Cyber Sync receiver, and have it fire at the same time with two Alien Bees. When I received the package, I had expected a very cheap build and some really inferior material. In fact, I was a bit disturbed when I heard rattling from within the unit but it turned out to be the silica packet in the battery compartment. I never expected it to use as an on-camera flash as I never dreamed of replacing my 430EX II with it, but since I had nothing better to do, I decided to try it out with my T2i. Well, even more of a surprise is that it actually works quite well with my T2i. The camera immediately recognizes it and sets the max sync speed, I can even control exposure compensation from within the camera. My opinion is that the flash is somewhat weaker than the 430EX but it illuminates everything that is needed. I really liked the built in diffuser panel which actually gives the shot a nicer (more realistic) color/white balance. I've always just used any on-camera flash as a bounce flash indoors and this YN-467 certainly performs the same function as my 430EX. As for longevity and quality, I've only used it for two days and it readily recycles within 1-2 secs on rechargeable batteries.
I'm looking forward to use it as a hairlight, and unless it breaks down with such a light workload on 1/2 power, I think this unit deserves 5 stars!
BTW, I was apprehensive on how the hot shoe would mount on the camera, but the tightener and the metal shoe definitely can latch onto the T2i. No fears there.
