Great Flash!!!, September 30, 2005
Reviewer: xmasboy "xmasboy"
This flash is working great for me. It has an amazing recycle time. I have
been able to easily fire off multiple shots indoors in low light without
missing a beat. I have also used it in a completely dark room, and all
worked great. I don't like the locks on the bounce head, it is necessary
to press the release on the side prior to tilting. Just a minor annoyance.

Solid Flash, September 30, 2005
Reviewer: D. Rowe "A guy and a camera"
I'm not a photog expert, but the quality of my pictures has dramatically
increased since purchasing this flash. I use the bounce feature all the
time and the pictures look much less shadowed. This flash is a must have
for anyone trying to get as close to professional quality as possible.

The best flash for the intermediate photographer!!!!, September 15,
2005
Reviewer: Luis A. Orellana Manzano
I bought this 420EX Speedlight flash about a month ago and I'm 100%
satisfied with the results. This flash produces a very nice contrast
between your subject and background when taking protrait photos, it takes
sharp and clear photos when your set your SLR camera to fast action mode,
and its red beam sensor works great when there is not enough light for the
camera to focus on the subject. I will fully suggest to have a tripod at
hand when using this flash at very low lighting condition since the lense
will remain open longer than usual so the background will be luminated
enough to obtain a nice contrast with the subject. This flash has many
other features that make it worth buying and reliable. It will take me
longer to go through each feature. All in all, I truly recomend getting
this flash if you are serious on moving on up on photography; it's the
first step to the next level.

Big difference, September 9, 2005
Reviewer: Michael Lieber
I have been dissatisfied with the built in flash on my Digital rebel.
Bought this two weeks ago and have used it extensively. The batteries last
forever. Main improvement is when using it as a bounce flash. Much better
colors, softer light, no redeye. It can be used as a slave flash but only
with the much more expensive 500 series. The only reason I give it a 4 is
that the new 430EX just came out with significantly improved
functionality. However, the pricing is probably much higher than these
closeout price

A perfect match to my EOS 7, September 2, 2005
Reviewer: Ching-hsiang Lin "dino750"
My original goal to purchase this unit was to enhance the flash effect
from the built-in flash on my EOS 7. But I found it provides not only more
output power in flash, but also assistance on AF. As you know, EOS 7's AF
is almost blind in dark environment. Once the unit is mounted, then my EOS
7 can do auto-focus in dark as quickly and precisely as in bright.
Although it has only auto setting, it is powerful enough for me to use
under most circumstan

Can control flash power, August 30, 2005
Reviewer: Shark "Photography Fan"
I just used this flash for bikini models during the morning and evening
hours where there is bright sunlight and it did not have enough power to
counteract the sun's bright light. This is primarily because of the e-TTL
feature that adjusts the power of the flash according to the focal length
of the lens. Normally that is a great thing, but in extreme circumstances
a manual option is needed. So I am now going to buy the Speedlite 550
Flash. The Camera that I was using it on is the Canon Digital Rebel which
unfortunately does not have a Flash exposure adjustment. So, I couldn't
compensate for this.

Excellent value flash, August 1, 2005
Reviewer: G. V. Carpio
Great for people shooting indoors. Bouncing is flexible with the
tilt-and-swivel feature. I also like the auto-zoom from 24 to 105.
