Shanny SN600C E-TTL HSS Speedlite for Canon

OVERVIEW

Canon Flash Light SN600C are the latest entry level flash from new Chinese manufacturer Shanny. And with a price tag of around shipped, the SN600C would have to be a high a contender for the best bang for buck inexpensive ETTL flash currently available.

The SN600C Canon Flash Light still provide full features including HSS when used as an on-camera flash, and they also currently have full function when used off camera with the popular YN-622C TTL radio triggers.

The SN600C TTL exposures are very good and quite consistent, bounced or direct. And Flash Expsoure Compensation (FEC) adjustments are working as they should.
The early SN600SC we tested still had a few small quirks, thoug these appear to have been fixed nicely now with the SN600C (and production version SN600SC available now).
