Designed for high performance and reliability, the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite Flash is a marked improvement on its predecessor, with an expanded zoom range, a higher guide number, a new dot-matrix LCD display panel, better hot-shoe contacts, better flash head durability and a new color filter holder being among many of the improvements of this impressive flash.

In addition to traditional optical wireless transmission, the professional Canon 600EX-RT Speedite Flash features wireless 2-way radio communication (up to 98.4 ft) giving photographers the ability to expand their creativity by using wireless Speedlites with the reliability of radio triggering (allowing control of up to 5 groups with a total of 15 individual Speedlites).

The zoom flash head on the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite offers 20mm to 200mm coverage, and can even go as wide as 14mm with the extendable wide panel.  To help conserve energy consumption and to maximize power, the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite can be directed to zoom in accordance with a camera’s image sensor size (i.e. full-frame, APS-H, APS-C).

The Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite Flash has been designed for improved dust and water resistance capabilities, with all moving parts and areas surrounding the display and buttons being sealed, together with a new dust and water resistant adapter for the mounting foot to create a seal between the flash and the camera.

The Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite features a built-in AF Assist Beam to help with illumination for more accurate and faster auto-focus, which works in conjunction with EOS SLRs, as well as cameras that feature the 61-point High Density Reticular AF like the EOS-1D and the EOS 5D Mark III.

The Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite Flash features a new dot-matrix LCD display panel which indicates stats like the flash status, wireless configuration and detailed information on other flash settings.  The backlit control buttons make the flash easy to operate even in the dark.

For user flexibility, creativity and control, the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite offers 18 custom functions and 7 personal functions, including options such as exposure bracketing control, modelling flash, AF assist control, energy saving features, test firing controls, and many others.

The flash-head itself is designed to be full-swivel with 180 degree in either direction.  It can be angled 90 degrees up or 7 degrees down.  It can rotate 180 degrees left or right.  It also features a bounce lock to keep the flash head in exactly the right place you want to create easy bounce flash.

J.C.:
“The Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite Flash is so good that I ordered another one and also the st e3 transmitter for off-camera.  It does everything it said it would do.  Awesome!”

E.G.:
“I bought the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite to go with my Canon 5d Mark III.  I did 2 wedding shoots with it and this flash works great.  This has become my main flash and I’m hoping to add 2 more very soon.  In my opinion, it’s Canon’s best flash unit so far.”

I.R.:
“The Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite is a great compliment to my Canon 70D, they work really well together.  I simply connect the flash to my camera and it reads what lens you have and what the zoom setting is to give you the right required amount of flash.  It has a much longer range than a standard camera flash.”
