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.

Yes it works great. I am a beginner but I have a t3i and the flash is working well.

I have a Canon 5d mark 2 and a Canon 7d and it works great on both of them. I would say it works on the T3i because it's still a canon flash and hot shoe system.

What is happening that you feel the shutter is being left open too long? Are you shooting in manual mode? I know the only issue I had with this flash was cannot shoot with a long shutter because it blacks out the photo. Is that what you're having?

This will work with Cannon, but metering modes will not work as it's not a real Speedlite. You have to adjust flash output, F stop and shutter speed unlike with a real Speedlite that does it for you. The T3i is just better then a T2i, same hot shoe.

Yeah the biggest complaint for the SX200IS was the automatic flash every time. I'm gonna wait to see if that has been fixed in the SX210IS before I go ahead an order. Looks like a great improvement in every other area!I'm glad I held out on getting my super-zoom point and shoot! Within the last few weeks Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, and Panasonic all announced their Spring 2010 models. There are some real good options out there!

I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea.I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates:SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

I usually do an immense amount of research before purchasing a product because I despise having useless pieces of equipment around me when I could just do the research and purchase once. I absolutely love my Canon 100mm macro lens and have found no need to purchase the Canon ring flash. Unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket I would advise against purchasing a ring flash, plus if you want to experiment, there are a ton of DIY methods of putting together a ring flash just to see if the effect is worth the purchase of a more expensive unit. Another con of the ring flash is that it uses an inordinate amount of power. I like to carry the minimal amount of equipment as often as possible. I'm out in the desert hiking here and there. It gets hot and I want to use all my energy on the nature around me. I don't want to hear the voice in my head that complains of the extra weight of extra batteries, a bulky ring flash etc. I purchased a dedicated regular flash (model doesn't matter, just the best that you can afford) that I can use as a slave to the pop up flash that's on the camera. I find that with a few tweaks on my part, such as using a piece of paper or reflector to bounce color, darkness or lightness onto the subject can do the job I want just as well. Now git out there and use that 100mm macro! What have you been waiting for?!

For starting out. I think it's a great flash. Also, the price is right. It costs upwards 150-200. It also performs very well for its size. As far as use on a T3, it is compatible and would work well. The nice thing about this flash is that it's not big an bulky like a majority of flashes tend to be. I would recommend this for sure. The only way I would say look for another is if you are a highly experienced photographer and have very specific needs from your flash.

I also got a T2i. A word of warning. My first SD Card failed after less than a week. Make sure you buy only good quality SD cards. And by good quality I mean brand not speed. A cheap fast card is not worth the savings when it dies and takes all your pics with it. I am sticking to SanDisk from now on. They appear to be the best.

There should be no problems with this flash. I got mine dedicated for Olympus TTL and she works superbly. I would suggest getting this flash for Canon TTL and you should have no problems with it. It's quite a powerful flash and seems well constructed. I've had no issues with it. And keep in mind, it's not like you have to consider using an "older" flash that could have higher voltage ratings and thus destroy your camera's interior electronics. So don't worry - if you're in the market for this flash, by all means get it. Based on my experiences with this flash, I can only give it great marks! There should be no problems with this flash.

I shoot with a Nikon that has options to trigger a remote flash. Not familiar with Canon T3i.

My experience with using Canon Speedilite 270EX II... the pictures are always Overexposed. To the point where they're completely white-out.

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.
