Great small flash!

Strengths: Light weight and works great.

Weakness: None that I'm aware of.

I'm somewhat new to SLR digital photography. I bought this a couple of weeks ago. Last night I was on our porch experimenting with the flash. It was a strong afternoon sun with lots of shadows. I took pictures of my wife and other things both with and without the flash. It was amazing that even with full sun how much better the same photo was with the flash. Without the flash the backgrounds were "washed" out. With it, you could see the background with good detail. It works great with my Digital Rebel 300.
Highly recommended.

Speedlite 220EX

Strengths: Compact, simple to use

Weakness: None so far

This is a great flash for the amateur photography enthusiast. One can choose to use it in fully automatic mode or Canon's E-TTL mode to sync with the camera's shutter speed. Although compact in size, the output is sufficient for most every situation.

Great little flash

Strengths: light small nice construction

Weakness: uses AA batteries

It's a very nice basic flash. Doesn't do bounce, but it's a lot lighter than the one that does! Works great on our S5 IS. Takes 4 AA batteries, so bring a charger and spares....

Speedlite 220EX

Strengths: This is a great flash to use on the go, it works a lot better then the standard built in and the photos come out nicer.

Weakness: N/A

This is a great flash to use on the go, it works a lot better then the standard built in and the photos come out nicer. Good price and great quality, as always a++ for Canon.
