I use this flash with a Canon 5D Mk2 and 7D
Pros:
Power 1/1 ~ 1/128 in 7 steps with additional 7 steps between each for fine tune
Zoom 24 ~ 105mm
Wide angle diffuser board and reflection board (identical to Canon 580ex II)
Slave operation with built in optical triggers to work with or without pre-flash from master flash unit
*Very* simple menu system using LED's.
Stand
Decent protective pouch
Virtually identical design and quality to 580ex II
Cons (compared with 580ex II):
No E-TTL (single pin contact)
Screw lock onto hotshoe (I actually prefer this system to the fiddly button lock on the 580ex II)
Pan and tilt head does not lock (same adjustment angles available using a notched friction system)
All in all, 5+ stars at this price IMHO. In fact, best piece of kit I've purchased in a very long time (I have two).

i bought this to use off camera, however did try it on camera. i was very impressed, compared to a 430exii or even a 580ex, this is very good. IT IS FULLY MANUAL HOWEVER. this does detract from it but you will quickly learn how to read the light and set the flash to suit your photo if you use this on camera

Bought his for my HS20exr after much searching and saw that someone on a blog somewhere had been using the YN460II with theirs and it worked fine.
The YN560 also works fine with the HS20exr. It is also awesome. I can't compare it to other, more expensive, speedlights as this is my first one.
The refresh rate is fantastic. I think it claims something like 3 sec but I was getting 1 sec right out of the box and still am with the addition of a battery pack, probably less in fact.
The sound mode only seems to work once the flash is attached to a camera or a receiver so don't be thinking it's not working if you try to play around with that setting without connecting the flash to something. It's not super loud either as I think others have reported - it's just right.
The power/compensation settings are great and easy to use and very versatile with the use of smaller increment adjustments on each setting using the up and down arrows on the d-pad.
Note about the power button. Press and hold it, the lights on the compensation indicator will fill up, there will be a double beep, then you can let go otherwise the flash will just tun off if you let go before the beep. Yes it took me a few goes to figure this out.
The zoom is great. At it's narrowest setting with a shutter speed of 1/4000 and aperture at f11 on iso 200 I have gotten effects comparable to using a speed filter. 1/4000 is my fastest setting on the HS20 so this flash works with all my shutter range with no loss of sync.
The pilot/test button is quite hard to depress but at least it's not going to accidentally get set off. I've used this with a wireless trigger and as an optical slave and all works fine. Comes with a nice thick bag and a stand.
I'm contemplating getting a YN560ex for TTL but I'm almost certainly getting another one or two of these. Love it.
