“Hey that small flash you posted about before PMA will be a reality on March 25.”

It only makes sense to have a better small flash, but making sense doesn’t matter. :)

  • if they updated the 220EX to have a bounce head, they’d sell like hotcakes, but they’d eat into the 430EX’s sales.

    that’s the only thing that’s keeping me from getting a 220… it’s ancient, non-bounce design.

  • Well, it wouldbarely eat into the 430EX sales if it didn’t have a manual or slave mode.

    Not to mention the 220EX isn’t as powerful as the 430EX, if I’m not mistaken…

  • nowhere near as powerful, the Canon Nomenclature system for flash is the ### in front of the EX is the guide number in decimeters. For example the 580EX (I and II) have a guide number of 58m at ISO 100, @105mm. Personally I haven’t had success withbounce flash TTL, though bounce flash manual mode has proved very effective. I hope they add manual and keep the low guide number. Personally I would like them to put a slave mode in it as well, just so people who start off with an on camera flash can use it as a remote if they like flash photos and want to upgrade their main uinit to a 580EX II, though you correctly point out that this would eat into the 430EX sales, so I doubt that will happen.

  • I’d like a small one just so I could have the AF assist beam/grid for low light shots with the 5D2.

    Of course, swivel bounce head, manual controls and pc sync port would be great too. ;)

  • Price of the 430 needs to come down anyway.
    We also need an 820 EX off camera with bracket with ultra fast recycle BP-511 battery no red eye for weddings!
