It's great for fill-in flash, great for lighting up the room and great for bouncing. <strong>Pros</strong>: - powerful and relatively compact compared to the larger 580EX - ETTL and automatic zoom matches focal length of lens - great battery life - auto standby mode to save power <strong>Cons</strong>: - menu-driven controls can be slower to operate than mechanical controls - no PC jack connection - Flash head doesn't swivel 180-degrees in both directions.
