Digital camera Review: Canon Speedlite 220EX for Digital Rebel
Summary: 5 Stars
Built-in flash on Canon EOS digital rebel is flawed. This inexpensive add-on works great and is very useful for the casual photographer who likes the flexibility of the digital SLR but who is not a fanatic about flash photography. Price is right. Feature-full for all but the highest end photographer.Digital camera Review: Canon Speedlite not so speedy
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this flash for my Canon digital rebel xt. Had the same results as
the built in flash, so I returned it. May work better with a different
camera.
Digital camera Review: Compact, powerful, and a perfect complement to the G1
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just purchased a Canon PowerShot G1 digital camera a few weeks ago, I felt the built-in flash to be of OK performance, but it was far from what I was used to using with some of my older SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras.After reading the review here on the 220EX, I decided to go for it. I have seen the other EX offerings, and they are really big flash units. Since the G1 is pretty compact, I figured the 220EX would be the best fit. And after having used it for a while, I know I made the best choice. With 4 AA batteries in the flash, it's pretty heavy (especially in addition to the already somewhat heavy G1). Throw on your lens(es) of choice, and you have a camera of substantial size and weight.
But getting back to the flash, it's so user-friendly that you'll be taking great pictures in minutes. The real light metering works wonders, even in conditions where the subject you're taking a picture of is in complete darkness. I was really happy with how well this flash lit up rooms, evenly and naturally.
This flash is a great value, and comes highly recommended, as is the camera that I bought it for, the PowerShot G1.
Digital camera Review: Does what it is supposed to do.
Summary: 5 Stars
Flash on Canon Rebel was not bright enough. This flash has filled the void. Wish it was a little cheaper though.Digital camera Review: Excellent flash, easy to use, accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this flash for my G9, but now use it with all my EOS SLR's also. This week I used my expensive 580 for class pictures and ebay photography with dismal results. I switched the 2nd day to this little baby and the class pictures were perfect. I was amazed! Eliminated redeye with the G9 and perfect for many uses.
