Canon Speedlite 220EX Flash Light
Designed for automatic operation only, the 220EX Flash Unit excels at providing natural-looking balanced flash exposures. When attached to the EOS IX, EOS Elan II/Elan IIe/IIe, or EOS Rebel G, the 220EX incorporates the superior technology of Canon's unique E-TTL evaluative pre-stored flash exposure control system, FE Lock for a new dimension of creative control and FP Flash(High Speed Sync) for flash photography up to maximum shutter speed. When used with other EOS cameras, or the T90, it operates as a TTL auto-flash (off-the-film flash metering). When in E-TTL operation, flash exposure is measured and controlled by the camera in combination with Canon's AIM system. Subject position, ambient light level, evaluative metering and pre-flash data are instantly analyzed, including heavy back-lighting or reflections from background windows or mirrors. more

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 speed sycning of flash). Unfortunately it isn't as...

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 flash pictures over the pop-up exponentially. I...

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 technology inside.

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 for fill flash (so it doesn't have to be powerful,...

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 in now for awhile, and it fulfills its intended...
