Would you tell me what is the difference between the EF-X20 and the EF-20 flash

In terms of raw flash power, both units have a guide number of 20. The EF-X20 can support shorter focal length (wide angle) lenses because of a built-in diffuser (lacking in the EF-20) that can be used to spread the flash (drops the guide number to 15). Other features in the EF-X20 lacking in the EF-20 are a mount release button, all-metal body, and a built-in wireless slave flash mode. The main feature in the EF-20 lacking in the EF-X20 is that the head can be angled upwards for use as a bounce-flash. The head of the EF-X20 is fixed.

Output is similar with both units. The EF-20 tilts but the EF-X20 does not. However, the EF-X20 offers full manual mode control on top of the unit and can act as a slave unit whereas the EF-20 does neither.

The EF-X20 offers full manual control and can be used as a slave while the EF-20 cannot.

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question directly, but I felt that I needed to respond anyway. I own the EFX20. It is fine, but here is the MAJOR drawback. It uses two AAA batteries. They are exhausted after very little shooting. I think that the refresh time is very slow at 5-6 seconds. Unless you need a small occasional flash, I would not purchase the EX-X20. The EF-20 uses 2 AA batteries. It has a swivel and tilt head. It is a slightly cheaper build from what I understand. If you want maximum flash and recycle times, I would look at the Fuji 42. The EF X20 is made for the X-1, but I just am disappointed with the lack of power. Hope this helps. DKR I'm sorry, I can't answer your question directly, but I felt that I needed to respond anyway.

X-Pro 1 has a hybrid optical + electronic view finder whereas X-E1/E2 only has an electronic viewfinder. The X-E1/E2 has a built-in flash and the X-Pro 1 does not. X-E1/E2 is also smaller than the X-Pro 1. Finally, X-E1/E2 is about $200 less.

Hey, i just purchased the Nikon D60... i am thinking about exchanging it for the XTI for the same reason. the time to for the flash to "refresh" really makes it hard to catch the moment when flash is needed. Are you stil happy with your exchange? Can anyone comment on the reasons for the substantially slower flash in the Nikon D60 when compared to the canon XTI? Also, i heard that the Canon XTI is being taken out of the market and only the XSi will remain... is that true?

I have the STM. I can't speak for the glass or picture quality comparison, but the STM is almost silent. No motor-whirring when focusing. A HUGE plus for video. Focus is also quite fast. If you are planning on using this at all for video, hands-down the STM wins. If just for photo, I really can't speak to comparison. I did however own the EF 75-300 and compared the two side-by-side. The picture quality on the 55-250 STM is vastly superior.

From what I can tell, the d60 is only the d40x with minor upgrades. There is no preview button, and the info that sits on the top of the d80 is squeezed onto the back lcd. It is the same size as the d40, however, it does feel more sturdy. I can't really say why, it might be from a few more ounces in the VR lens, i'm not sure. It does only get the three focus points. But I'm not sure about the speed flash question. If you're looking to upgrade your current camera, go for the d80 as the 60 is only a bit different than the 40.

Please , I'm hoping if somebody can tell me more what is the difference between the canon HFS and HF because they both HD flash memory, but the price so much different.

The Canon ST-E3-RT will give you more flexibility and the Yongnuo are better as a run and gun system. I would get the Canon ST-E3-RT if you plan on getting more Canon 600ex RT units. If you only plan on having one speedlight and never using various lights to perform complex lighting setups then just save and get the Yongnuo.

I haven't have the chance to compare them side by side, but picture wise they look almost the same. I found it be pretty useful when you want to use the camera flash. I'm very happy with it so far. I'm sorry I can't fully answer your question at the time.

The differences are that the EF 28-135 has a little better build quality. It is compatible with full frame cameras (so if you decide to upgrade your camera it would work where the EF-S 18-135 would not). Another thing to consider is that the EF28-135 has a USM (ultrasonic motor) which makes for much quicker auto focus. Most beginners-novices find this to be a very helpful feature. I would compare the two at a site like the following. (they give the EF 28-135 a better rating too) http://www.photozone.de/

I was just debating the SX20 vs SX30, so I was really glad to find this discussion. I assumed the 30 would be an improvement, but it sounds from this discussion and many customer reviews that 20 is a better choice for image quality.

owning both of them i can tell you that the difference between both is HUGE, if you are a pro and really make your living out of photography i say go for it- the controls are a bit different since now you have a wheel to move thru the menus but you will love it once you get used to, it comes with its own stofen-like diffuser and color gel holder since the latest nikon cameras can detect the color of the gel used and then modify the white balance

I would contact the Nikon & Sunpak people for the information you're looking for. That's your best bet. I did this when I purchased this flash for my Canon & it helped me make my decision. I like the flash.

You should buy an X-Pro1 instead. It has the same specs as the X-E1, plus a sweet built in hybrid OVF. The only thing you use lose is a useless built in flash.

It works on my x100. I don't have the "s" version, but I don't think that anything has been changed regarding the flash interface. I also have the EF-x20. It is more expensive, but a much nicer flash because of the manual controls for EV and manual flash. If the EF-x20 has a negative (besides the price) it would be the AAA batteries vs the AA batteries for the EF-20. I use rechargeable batteries for both of these flashes, but the AAA's don't last very long (carry an extra set).
