The Speedlite 420EX is sure to appeal to EOS users everywhere with its combination of power, features and affordability. It is fully E-TTL-compatible, and reverts to standard TTL operation when used on older EOS bodies or the T90. The fully swiveling bounce head zooms automatically over a range of 24mm-105mm. Most impressively, 420EX' wireless E-TTL compatibility permits it to function as a "slave" unit, triggered by a 550EX; ST-E2, or MR-14EX. Any number of 420EX and 550EX Speedlites can be combined as "slave" units.

    I'm a real novice and I like this flash

    By Rich  Jan 4, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon Speedlite 420EX review helpful

    Pros: The flash swivels around

    Cons: It's large.

    I bought this "used" and I've been really enjoying it. I'm a novice and this flash is letting me try a lot of new things. I like that the flash swivels around so that I can take portrait shots. I also like that it has it's own b...attery source, so my camera's (I have a Canon G2) battery lasts longer. And since I like to shoot with a wide angle lens, this flash helps again because my camera's built-in flash is blocked by the lens. Read more Less

    Pros: Light, can be swivled, relatively strong

    Cons: no manual controls

    I've used this flash many times, and my wife also uses it whenever we take flash pictures. It's small, light, reliable, and swivles left and right as well as up and down, so you can get your bounce correct -- especially when you shoot in port...rait mode. I wish it had manual controls though -- that's what the 520/580 series is for, although it is much bigger and heavier. Read more Less
