If you use the cannon flash does that have high speed sync capability so you can do some hand held shots with this?

Probably not just because the magnitude of how close this lens needs to be to the subject and the physical position of the flash on top of the camera. Your best bet if you want to shoot hand held with this lens is using it with a macro ring flash and shooting with plenty of ambient light (ie. outside or in a studio).

I think you could dial that in--but what I've found is it's really difficulet to use without a tripod and then without a micro adjustment--a mm can throw it out of focus! So just remember--you could to it but I'm guessin you'd take maybe 10 shots to get one that worked handheld!!

The mt24ex does have high speed sync however, it isn't really needed because the the flash provides the majority of the light for the exposure. I usually set my shutter speed at 1/250th and then adjust the flash power to get correct exposure. The flash duration is so short that it freezes motion making adjusting the shutter speed unnecessary. Using a flash other than the mt24-EX or another type of ring flash is not possible do to the extremely close working distance.

Yes, both the Canon ring light and twin flash allow for high speed sync, though it isn't necessary for hand holding. You can shoot hand held within the normal sync speed also. Actually,, you're better off, because a slower shutter will allow a for a narrow aperture, which will give you more depth of field. That's the main benefit if using a flash for macro to begin with. The flash freezes the motion in many cases, so the shutter doesn't really need to be faster than the sync speed.

You can do hand-held shots with the MP-E using the twin flash, a diffused speedlite, or an off-camera flash (manually held or in a whitebox) without high-speed sync-many respected insect photographers use this lens hand-held on a regular basis, especially when tripods are not an option.Yes, you'll have fewer in-focus shots, but not having to worry about that is one of the advantages of digital. Yes, it's a tricky lens to use. But it is completely possible to use it hand-held with excellent results, and people do it all the time.

No. It will be limited by your camera's sync speed, which is often 1/200 second or so. For example, my Canon 60D is limited to 1/250 sec., so that's as fast as I can go. Check your camera's manual for the max sync speed.

It has a high speed burst mode for action videos. In still mode, it has a really fast lens (f2.0) which means the shutter can be cranked up high to capture faster motions.

Depends on how you use the flash. If it is on a light stand I usually use these giant rubber tie things. And tie them to the stand. I wouldn't recommend putting it on the camera if you plan on handholding it. It doesn't work well at all. Would be fine for tripod use. Make sure you have good rechargeable batteries like the Sanyo eneloop X ones or whatever they are. Enjoy!

Yes. But the flash has a speed control and can rotates in different colors! Its more eye catching.

Very, very fast in outdoor shots, but with the flash on it slows it down some. I have not used the flash very often since it is summer season, but i will soon and will post my thoughts on it then. I'm still in the beginning stages of using the flash. The non-flash pictures are absolutely stunning though!

It has a built in Flash. If you need to shoot in low light I suggest a tripod. But it is well worth the money. In fact I am suprised it sells as low as it does. The zoom is amazing as well.

I'd say no, I can shoot faster than this thing will allow. but, it shoots pretty quickly, you just need to learn how quick it'll cycle and you won't have problems.

Yes..a sync cord is included. This flash has a flaw with the hot shoe..the plastic shoe will break from the weight of the flash..I broke 3 of them..one on the first use.

You can take pictures right after one another outdoors. When using the flash there is a very small delay but it is still the fastest point and shoot that I have found. The shutter speed is actually why I bought this camera and I have been very happy with it.

In 12 megapixel "fine" mode, shots can be taken 1 second apart, with or without flash (you could shoot in half a second without flash, but p&s; cameras prefer you focus first by pressing the shutter button halfway). There's a high speed still shot mode that'll automate this and other HS modes that'll shoot 15 fps or even 60 fps (but those last two modes are limited to 3 MP photos).

Yes, it does but I don't use that feature very often, it takes a few seconds, at least 5 to write the burst and that can be too slow for quick action, but if you are wanting a single burst set, it is reasonable. I have not had too much success with fast action capture with this camera. I use it for scenery and video, the sound capture is outstanding, see what it can do at youtube, look up ddupont, these were all from this camera.

Yes you can use the built-in flash. As an aside, I recommend getting the weights for the bottom.

You can shoot shots pretty quick, but then the camera takes a few seconds to catch up. I usually use a burst of several and it recovers by the time I am ready to shoot again.

I really don't know I have a Cannon 7d. If it does, it's totally worth it. the color and speed are wonderful.

The question said SYNC, and NO, VK750 does NOT have a HSS option (to allow use with very fast shutter speeds). But of course, it is a speedlight, and low power levels do have an extremely short duration, which easily freezes motion (like any other speedlight).

That is the problem...you can't do rapid frames. The camera looks great, feels great to hold, but if you need something to capture a fast paced activity, this isn't the one for you. I like it and recommend it for a very casual user, however will be upgrading to a more advanced piece of equipment as soon as my budget allows.
