Description
Designed for automatic operation only, the 220EX flash unit excels at providing natural-looking balanced flash exposures. When attached to the advanced cameras, such as EOS IX, EOS Elan II/Elan IIe, or EOS Rebel G, the 220EX delivers the benefits of the Canon's superior technology. These include Canon's unique E-TTL evaluative pre-stored flash exposure control system, FE Lock for a new dimension of creative control and FP Flash (high-speed sync) for flash photography up to maximum shutter speed. When used with other cameras, it operates as a TTL autoflash (off-the-film flash metering).When in E-TTL operation, flash exposure is measured and controlled by the camera in combination with Canon's AIM system. Subject position, ambient light level, evaluative metering and pre-flash data are instantly analyzed, including heavy backlighting or reflections from background windows or mirrors.
Featuring a recycle time of 0.1 to 4.5 seconds, the Canon Speedlite 220EX is a fully automatic flash, compatible with all Canon EOS cameras. The 220EX can also utilize E-TTL operation when paired with the Canon EOS IX, EOS ELAN II/IIE, and EOS Rebel G. Sporting a save-energy feature, whereby the flash is shut down after 90 seconds of idle, the 220EX is powered by four AA batteries, and has a flash capacity between 250 and 1,700. The convenience and ease of use ensure the 220EX a place in the hands of amateur photographers who want a high-quality flash, but aren't interested in learning to use the professional features of Canon's other offerings.

Great Little Flash
[ Posted: 2009-01-02 ]
I purchased this flash to go on a Canon SX10 IS camera. The built in flash is just too slow and not very powerful at all. This flash is GREAT for me. It is small enough (eventhough I did order another camera bag) to go anywhere and it recycles fast enough to catch the expressions of my singers as they are singing. This is really important because one half a second after you see the expression, it is gone. Also, the flash is cheap enough to compete with the off-brands. I went with the little Canon and I am very happy.
Would be better with the ability to bounce flash and more power
[ Posted: 2008-12-27 ]
This is a basic flash that makes all the decisions for you-it's auto only. However, the fixed flash head does not allow bounce flash which to me is a deal breaker. Indoor shots can be so beautiful and evenly lit with bounce flash, but this unit is just a better version of what's built in to the Rebel or G series, complete with harsh lighting and blown out detail. It's too bad Canon feels this is a good entry level flash-Nikon has the very basic SB-400 for a similar price, but has bounce ability and is much more powerful than a built in speedlight.
very good

the speed light is a very good flash. but it was not as powerful as i needed. I used it with canon S5 IS. It is very much a keeper.The size, power and batt. use make it very useful.
Great Light for Little money

You really need an external light when you are at a wedding or in a dark room and people are moving. Excellent value.

I wanted an extended range flash for taking indoor group pictures and I didn't want to spend more than I spent for my camera - a canon S5 IS.....
It does what I want it to do. very satisfied........
