Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Canon Speedlite 220EX: A Reliable Flash for Canon EOS SLR Cameras - Previous Model by Shane Schobinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for home or hobby use

If you can't convince yourself that you want the features of higher models (like the 430EX) this is a great flash. It's easy - turn on, shoot, turn off. It seems a little less sharp than my Rebel XT's pop-up flash. It also claims to be slightly more powerful than a pop-up flash. Finally, I have lens hoods on some of my lenses. Therefore, the pop-up flash often creates a "shadow". This flash solves that problem. If you're somewhere between the clueless photographer who has no idea what this flash can do for you, but you lack the enthusiastic hobbyist who might want to play around with more advanced features, then this is for you. good flash. She doesn't turn or lean, but I don't care. Basically, I needed a little more power than my pop-up/built-in flash and wanted to go over the lens hood to avoid shadowing. This flash works for me. I'm giving it 4 stars because the light output seems to drop noticeably when shooting fast.

Pros
  • Flash range 2.3 to 63 feet
Cons
  • Trade in available
