Canon Speedlite 430 EX II... Either that or the 580 EX II, although unless you're a professional, you probably don't need the 580.

Test the real flash before buy it, I have nx200, I test canon flash but it's not compatible with nx200, may be you seek Internet for compatible flash with nx200 from other sources....

I seriously doubt that you will be happy with this flash. It is touted as an automatic TTL flash that works similar to name-brand flashes made for your camera. It is not. Suggest that you look seriously at the smaller Canon flash or a Metz equivalent. This flash is a manual flash and unless you are handy with setting aperture and shutter speed for different lighting situations, I would advise you to steer clear.

Yes, an excellent flash that can be used in various ways. In fact it's the best flash I've ever used. The fill light function is brilliant.All of my images are sharp at every distance. Have had fantastic success under all conditions.

Don't know what you mean by shoe, if you are to use the Vivitar 285 just plop it on your t3i hot shoe, and fire away, I use a flash 90% of the time shooting f 7.1 or 5.6 on up to 11, and at 1/200 sec, manual mode, start with m on the flash if too bright cut it 1.4 or 1/8 vivitar is perfect all around flash

This review is worth reading. After using the 90EX, the review seems accurate to me. It also recommends some alternative. http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/flash/90ex.htm

The flash is a Yongnuo (speedlite YN560). It works on some Canons, but not Rebel, as in my Canon T3i. (T3i = Rebel)

There is nothing more I know to add to Syd's answer . I have not taken very many shots with the flash but Syd's reply is correct as far as I can tell .

Thanks for the info on a potential new Canon with autofocus, DigitalHecht. I'll hold off as well to see what comes available. No rush, although I intend to purchase my first SLR in the next few months. The video autofocus is a must for me.

I would go to canon.com and check out their website instead. I just make music videos basically and am no tekkie. Their facebook page ALSO accepts messages. I'd try their web site or visit their FB page. There's an upgrade I haven't done yet cuz it takes the usb cable that came w/the camera and I'm not filming until spring. Good luck, those are questions imo for Canon. (their editing software isn't good as per a call w/one of their peeps.) Everything else is great but get w/Canon imho. Happy New Year too.

I was told all the canons use the same logic...while this might be true it is 'knock off' and will not work with some off-camera flash controllers. Wow... Canon 5D mk2-- go with a canon flash and you will not regret it. If you want something on camera with a little more bounce capability than stock 5D this is ok.

Hi Technology Guy,I liked you responses to the questions asked by fellow buyers. You may find me moron asking this but I searched quite a bit on google but did not get any definite answer. Could you help me decide if it is wise to buy T3i (600D) with "Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens" and do not buy "EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens"? OR if I need to have both lenses to start with. Thanks in advance.

Sandro, I purchased this flash for my Canon 70D and I have found no incompatibilities between camera and flash. I love the flash and am very happy with my purchase.

Heather, the flash I rec'd does not fit my camera. Unfortunately, I was ill when I first rec'd it, and the time frame for returning items had run out when I tried to use it on my Cannon Rebel t-3. I would hope that you would get the light that you need. Take advantage of the lighting in the restaurant. Best of luck. Kathleen M. on March 18th.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

I bought this flash to go on a Canon Rebel T4i. After the first couple of months I could not get it to work at all. The flash would not flash etc... I took the camera and flash to the local camera shop and was told that Canon camera's are very persnickety in regards to the flash. They just don't communicate with an off brand flash. I bought a Canon flash and have had no more problems at all.
