1- Canon 550EX E-TTL Review

  • Full review by

    User Rating : 10
    Respect : +2

    Good Points: Evaluative TTL metering Rapid recycle times Can control 2 slave flashes High guide number (105ft) Zoom flash function up to Focal length of 100mm

    Bad Points: Expensive

    General comments: This Canon 550EX E-TTL Flashgun is excellent. Fires a pre-burst of flash to set shutter speed correctly and stores this in flash. Flash intensity is totaly controlable and can be raised or lowered in power by several stops. Also has diffuser for wide angle close up work. This has the bonus of putting lovely catchlights in subjects eyes making portraits seem very lively. Flash also has head that can be adjusted upwards by 95 degrees and can rotate 360 degrees to avoid direct flash. Can also be fired by remote using remote module STB-2 (Can control 3 Flashes)
