    My recommendation would be to pick up a 580exii on Ebay (~$200). The 320ex is a good back-up flash, but not suitable for serious off camera work

    i have a question! i want to buy some radio triggers to do off camera strobe work. is it possible to use the 320ex with radio triggers even though it doesn’t have an lcd screen to control the power manually? i have a canon 60D and i know it has options for wireless manual control but in order to use the 320 wirelessly i have to have the infrared transmitter thats in front of the flash pointing to my cameras flash to receive the “signal” if you will, i don’t want to have to go through this hassle

    Will it work with a Rebel T3? (Not a T3i)

    Thanks for your review of this new flash unit, I find it cool. I might end up buying one of these in order to save some space in my bag.

    Will the remote firing work with my Canon T3i / 600d? 🙂

    So I assume remote firing won’t work with 550D? 🙁

    great review
    but why you didnt upload the video with widescreen format?

    I agree- The 580 Exii is way due for an update. They may be waiting on some new technology before releasing it, I heard they just put in some patents for built in radio transmitters in the body. Might just be a rumor, but great things are coming and I am very excited for them

    Pretty cool! But I’ll stick with my 430ex2 dor now as it has a higher guide number.

    I agree with you- this is just the first of what Canon is developing. It would be interesting to see what they’ll come up with a higher end version. 620ex anyone?

  23. MichaelTheMentor Avatar

    The 430 is a better flash unit alone. The question is, do you plan to do any video in the near future? If so, then the 320 would be a good investment. If not, go for a 580 or 430.

    As a XSi dSLR user, would you recommend the 320EX or the 430EX? As you know, the XSi does not have a video function so it is strictly a photography camera. I’m in the market to buy a flash and was wondering which one you would recommend between the two. Thanks in advance.
