Canon Speedlite 550EX TTL Flash

Consumer Rating:	See 5 reviews
Information:	Product details

Speedlite 550EX is the main component of a new flash system designed together with the EOS-3 SLR camera. It provides full compatibility with the new area AF technology employed by the EOS-3 and refined E-TTL autoflash for improved performance. Other main features include a maximum Guide Number of 180 (ISO 100, ft.), an AF-assist beam, which links to the EOS-3's 45-point area AF, FP flash (high-speed sync), FE lock (a flash version of AE lock), and FEB (flash exposure bracketing). Speedlite 550EX also incorporates a built-in wireless transmitter, which can control other Speedlite 550EX units set up as slave units. Flash coverage is set automatically from 24mm to 105mm, and a wide-angle panel extends the coverage to 17mm. The new Speedlite runs on 4 AA-size batteries, and can also be used with optional external power supplies such as Compact Battery Pack E and Transistor Pack E. Recycling times are faster than those experienced with the Speedlite 540EZ. Minimize

Powerful and feature rich flash unit for Canon

by suemccartin, Nov 14, 2004

Pros: Two way head (right/left/up/down), fast cycle times, lots of manual control, external power plug.

Cons: Expensive, heavy, lots of rarely-used functions, no filter set, newer model out.

The Bottom Line: For Canon ETTL, fully supports your camera body. Tons of features that most won't use. Fast cycle times and external power capabilities make this a professional class flash unit.

Review: I've been taking pictures for a long time with both film cameras and recently with two digital snap and shoot type cameras. Within the last month I bought a EOS digital rebel (basically a stripped down version of the 10D body). The canon speedlights ...

Best Flash for Canon Cameras

by nijuma, Jun 7, 2004

Pros: Power, features, exposure accuracy, ease of use

Cons: Price, and flimsy battery compartment.

Review: I upgraded from the 420ez flash and what I first noticed was how large this flash is. I have been very impressed with the power and features of this flash. When I was reading reviews I found a lot of people having problems while using the 10D but I ...
