New 2xx Series Flash [CR2]

January 6th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Canon Flashes

Is one coming?
I think one of the biggest missing items in Canon’s lineup is a useful small flash for the likes of the G10 and SX10IS. There aren’t too many people that will spend about the same amount of money on a flash as they did the camera.

I was told last year that a new 2xx series flash was coming. I have nothing concrete that it’ll be introduced at PMA, but hold tight.

I’ll add easy linkage to the top of the site shortly, my internet is a bit wiggy this week.

January 5th, 2009 | 9 Comments | Posted in Canon Flashes

New flash coming?
I received an email about the possiblity of a new flash being added to the Speedlite lineup. It won’t be a replacement of the 580 EX II.

Specs (very few)

  • Higher Guide Number
  • 1.6, 1.3, 1.0 Crop Modes
  • Better Vertical Swivel
  • Metering from 10mm(EF-S)-250mm
  • Weather Sealed
  • New Battery Door

I could see this coming at PMA, There’s definately a market for higher end flashes.The p

UPDATE
The previous 1Ds post wasn’t supposed to appear, I had it set as a draft. The rumor is old and one of them recycled from here already. Thanks for the heads up Adam, posting from an iPhone can be annoying.

ETTL-3? [CR2.5]

New Flash?
I received some information that Canon is working on a higher end flash unit. It will replace the 580II. It will have a new metering system… ETTL3?

The flash will have a much higher guide number than the 580 II.

I'll keep pressing for more information.

Canon EX 430 II Speedlight

New flash from Canon
It looks to be pretty much the same as the 430 except for a metal mount, fast locking, manual flash exposure in 1/3 EV and the ability to operate the flash from the DIGIC III Camera bodies.

Retail price should be about the same.

Canon 430EX II & Canon 230EX

I have been told both could be coming shortly.

Canon Speedlite 430EX II
- Metal Shoe
- Quick Release
- New Interface

Canon Speedlite 230EX
- Swiveling Flash Head
- Slightly more power

The 230EX could be a direct aim at G-series and S5IS users who don't want a full size flash. The current 220EX is pretty useless without the swivel.
