Steelevisions.com/best-canon-flash Photographer Phil Steele compares Canon Speedlite models 270EX, 430EX II, and 580EX II and helps you decide which one to buy based on your needs. For an updated comparison featuring the newer Canon flashes, including the 320EX and 600EX RT, visit my Steele Training website and watch the free video there. I tried to post it here but for some mysterious reason it was rejected. You can also find other photo gear videos on my site which are not here on YT. Price these Canon Flashes at Amazon.com: 430EX II http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001... 580EX II http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000... 270EX http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001... I was hard on the little 270EX in the video, but it's actually a great flash if you are using a compact camera with a hot-shoe, like the G10. Otherwise, for DSLR cameras, I recommend the full-size flashes. If you buy from my Amazon links you put a few dollars in my pocket and help me produce these tutorials.
