Author's Review

I just bought this flash as a replacement for my old Speedlite 430EZ which does not work with my new 300D. Overall, this flash is outstanding. It has high power and good construction and very easy to use, and not that expensive (for a Canon product). This flash is really a good companion for the Digital Rebel 300D mounted with a 28-135 IS EF lens. Making overall size of the whole camera not too big, because I travel a lot and the size really does matter (compared to a 550EX).
The tilt and swivel capability is a plus, although I rarely use it.
Battery life is good, but I think it’s because I am using 2000mAH rechargeable batteries

The only thing that I missed in this 420EX is the blue back-lighted LCD display of the 430EZ, which looks cool. Now in the 420EX, the zoom ranges of the lens is represented by red LEDs. The good thing is that the 420EX is smaller than the 430EZ and a tad lighter.

If you just owned a Canon EOS Digital Rebel 300D, this is the perfect external flash for you.
