A great flash and it really compliments my new Canon Camera. I have used this numberous times and have not been disappointed with the results.
about 24-25ft. It is, because the EFFECTIVE RANGE of this flash is little farther than the built-in flash. The purpose of my going for this is to substitute the use of the built-in flash in case I resort to use the Wide Angle Lense attachment. Hence, it is suggestive to have an exterrnal flash to substitute the built in flash.
Remember I used the word " Substitute ". I purchased this item from Amazon for my Powershot S5IS two months back. Any how, it justifies my saying it a " Substitute ". Over all the external flash serves as a good substitute for the built-in flash of the S5IS. The maximum range of the built-in flash is 17ft.
When the Wide Angle attachment is used the built-in flash can not be used, as it gives a hemispherical shadow on the lower side of the picture due the 58mm size. I have taken some beautiful pictures during a marriage ceremony in India a few days ago. This extenal flash works considerably well for this purpose. While using the Wide Angle attachment and the external flash I observed some times the focus and the white balance changes. The maximum range of this external flash is specified as 51ft.
But to my experience it is not more than the half way i.e. Hence, one has to make adjustments for these two things before shooting. I am satisfied with the performance of this flash for the purpose I needed it.
For those who have bought a Canon digital camera with an external flash shoe, this is a very useful adjunct. Of course if one has the camera with which this unit is fully compatible, it is essential to have this. I have tried shooting objects 30' away upping the ASA to 200 and got excellent results which no in-built flash can give.
this is the perfect flash for my G10 it works perfect would recomend for anyone using a smaller camera
Canon speedlite 220EX is a great small flash for my Canon G-10 and back up flash for my Canon 430 EX.Great flash for the money.Love it.Richard B.Cartersville,GA
