I'll Start off and say I use this flash with a Canon EOS IX, APS SLR camera. The advantages of this flash are that it is relatively compact, has fast recycle times due to Canon opting to use 4 instead of 2 AA batteries, and it supports HSS (high...
PROS: 1. Fast recycle time. 2. High Speed Syncing (but this the case with all Canon EX flash units and newer "Type A" bodies) 3. Light weight 4. Compact 5. Flash exposure lock, a Canon flash system feature, is nice and helps with horrible exposures.
CONS: 1. Needs more power 2. Exposure with Canon's system is less than stellar, even worse when manual focused. Usually overexposes. 3. Too pricey if you ask me 4. Could use bounce/swivel if it had more power

An excellent, small flash unit that always delivers on the money exposure. Quick recycle time is very helpful. I also have a 380 EX and the 220EX is ready for 2nd flash in half the time. If you have a Rebel (as I do) this flash will improve your...
PROS: Small Lightweight Accurate, accurate, accurate Capable of high speed flash. Fast recycle time.
CONS: Expensive, expensive, expensive. I would give it a 5 rating if not for the price.

Hmmm....what can I say about this flash? It is lightweight (would be lighter if it used only two AA''s not four but that would probably mean less flashes), Compact, prevents redeye to some degree with its higher height from the lens, great...
PROS: When evaluating a flash''s performance you have to look at the camera body it is mounted on''s performance when dealing with TTL Flash systems. That is why I give the entire Canon Flash system an A+++++++++ for its dead on flash exposures. The fact that y
CONS: Power is more than a little weak at times! A little expensive if you ask me!

I hate the 380EX for not being able to swirl, the 550EX is way too expensive for my purpose (maybe the 420EX would strike a good balance). I long for a smaller package with all the new features (E-TTL, FP etc) that I could keep in my camera bag...
PROS: Small, portable, E-TTL & FP Flash that complement my 50QD (Elan II) and EOS300 (Rebel 2000)
CONS: None if you know it power limit

I bought this because of its portability (it easiliy fits in my pocket), and because the lens I use on my Elan II will block the pop-flash with the lens hood on. Another main reason is that it is an E-TTL flash, which my 200E is not. I have used...
PROS: Small, light and has E-TTL for full integration with the Elan II and other Type A EOS camera.
CONS: Limited range, no zoom head. It is too expensive.
