Which cameras is this flash compatible with?
The Canon Speedlite 270EX is compatible with Canon cameras that have a hotshoe and support Canon's TTL system, including E-TTL II. This covers most Canon DSLR and mirrorless cameras. To verify exact compatibility with your model, consult your camera's manual or the manufacturer's specifications.
What type of batteries does it use and how long do they last?
This flash uses two AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable). Battery life depends on flash power and usage, but under normal conditions you can expect a reasonable number of shots. No exact number is specified, so we recommend carrying spare batteries for long sessions.
Can I use the flash for fill-in photography outdoors?
Yes, the Canon Speedlite 270EX is suitable for fill-in photography outdoors, especially in backlit conditions or with harsh shadows. Its compatibility with E-TTL II helps balance ambient light with flash, although its power (guide number 27) is more effective at short or medium distances.
Can the flash head be tilted to bounce light?
The Speedlite 270EX head can be tilted upward to bounce light off the ceiling or reflective surfaces, which softens shadows. However, it does not have horizontal rotation (swivel), so lateral bounce is not possible. This is indicated in the product specifications.

Light marks from normal use. Optically clean and fully functional.
Visible signs of use (scuffs, marks, brassing). Works perfectly.
Not guaranteed for use: sold for parts or repair.
Why buy used?
