I have a Canon EOS 80D and would like to purchase a speedlite for it. Can anyone tell me what models work with ths? I am having no luck pinning down what will work. Thanks for any help!

Any current Canon speedlite will work. Read the specifications on your camera. It uses Canon’s E-TTL communication protocol. If you read the specifications on any of Canon’s speedlites, you will see that they also use the E-TTL protocol.

I recommend Canon’s 600EX II-RT. It has the power to bounce light off of the average home ceiling.

Check out the Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT at $250 bucks it is a deal.

Thank you for your response. I couldn't swing the cost of the 600EX II-RT. I did purchase the 430EX III-RT this morning.
