Good Points

this flash is small and light with fast recycling times, more powerful than the pop up flash and runs on aa batteries.

this is a flash for digital cameras and the more modern film cameras ie the 300v and 30v

when using for portraiture or close work you can set and forget great pics all the time


Bad Points

it doesnt have and tilt or swivel

guide number of 22 no good for distance work


General Comments

this flash can be popped in your shirt pocket on the off chance you need some flash

its designed to take pictures of head and shoulders or groups close to the camera using the standard kit lens this covers the 18-55 zoom range

this flash is not be confused with 200E or 200M these were for the film cameras

uses the E-TLL system and can high speed syc which is usefull for sport

many low powered flashs using a slow motor drive 2-4 photos of a basket baller dribbling up to the hoop rather than one big flash and then waiting for the flash to recycle

great for using as a slave to tigger any of the bigger canon flash units
