Summary: Great Product!
Comment: This is a great flash! I is defiantly worth what I payed for it. It fit perfectly on my Canon XTi and I really like it. Just remember you need 4 AA batteries for it that are not included. I would recommend this flash.

Summary: Great for home/hobby use
Comment: Unless you can convince yourself that you need the features of higher models (such as the 430EX), this is a great flash. It is very simple - turn it on, take the picture, turn it off.
It seems to be a little less harsh than the popup flash on my Rebel XT. it also claims to be a little more powerful than the popup flash. Finally, I have lens hoods on a few of my lenses. Thus, the popup flash often creates a "shadow". This flash takes care of that problem.
If you fall somewhere between being a clueless photographer who has no idea what this flash might do for you, but are short of an overeager hobbyist who might want to fiddle around with more advanced features, then this is a good flash.
It does not swivel or tilt, but I don't care about that. I mainly wanted a little more power than my popup/builtin flash and I wanted to get above my lens hoods to prevent shadowing. This flash works for me.
I give it 4 stars b/c there seems to be a notable reduction in light output if you take rapid fire shots.

Summary: Terrific and easy
Comment: Does exactly what it is meant to do on powershot cameras -- easy, no frills. Lights up a room nicely. For those occasional moments where the casual photographer needs a bit more lighting beyond what is available on the built-in flash. No advanced features on this item. I love mine -- I do next to do indoor photography, and once or twice a year will do some portrait or headshot work on request at a party with my G9. At those times, this flash works great, is economical, and small and lightweight to throw into any bag. Please note that this flash is intended for smaller units such as the Canon G7, G9 or Pro 1...if you have a dSLR like the XTi, 30D, 40D, this flash unit is NOT AS STRONG as your built-in flash already and would be a waste of your money.

Summary: solid product but read description carefully
Comment: I received this flash for my birthday, and it was exactly what I asked for. I found it to dramatically improve teacher quality and to be a wonderful product. However, despite the fact that I am an amateur photographer I really wanted a flash that I could position in an arbitrary direction and this flash cannot do that.

Summary: Another great Canon product
Comment: I already own a Canon Speedlite 420EX and love this flash unit, which I use with a Canon Digital Rebel, but needed a smaller unit for a Canon Powershot and the 220EX is the perfect companion for it. It's light, accurate and as any Canon an attractive, excellent product. I recommend it without hesitations if what you need is extra clarity in your pictures and the flash that comes with the camera doesn't do a good job. Give the 220EX a try.
