Customer Review: Speedlite 220EX review
Summary: 3 Stars
The unit works well, and works well on a shoe. The range is very limited though, especially when shooting indoor sporting events. I should have gone with the bigger flash.Customer 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.
Customer Review: Canon Speedlite 220EX
Summary: 3 Stars
Generally satisfactory, for the price. Does not rotate or tilt, preventing relfected light photography. Allows TTL phoyography, which is an advantage.Customer Review: Would be better with the ability to bounce flash and more power
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a basic flash that makes all the decisions for you-it's auto only. However, the fixed flash head does not allow bounce flash which to me is a deal breaker. Indoor shots can be so beautiful and evenly lit with bounce flash, but this unit is just a better version of what's built in to the Rebel or G series, complete with harsh lighting and blown out detail. It's too bad Canon feels this is a good entry level flash-Nikon has the very basic SB-400 for a similar price, but has bounce ability and is much more powerful than a built in speedlight.Customer Review: Why does Canon keep selling this subpar product?
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this flash as a replacement for a 420ex (that I was borrowing from a good colleague). The minute I opened I had the ominous feeling that it was going to be a disappointment. Indeed! The very first test shots were incredibly telling as to how lousy and shoddy this flash is. First, it does not swivel so you can kiss your hopes for bounce flash goodbye. Second, it's lacks punch and power. In many of the informal tests I performed, the built-in flash of my camera (and even that of a point-and-shoot I have lying around the studio) is more powerful!!!!!! I re-packed it and sent it back. Got a 430ex and am nothing but satisfied. In short, stay away from this flash! In this case you won't even get what you paid for--avoid!
