5.0 out of 5 stars Canon's got a winning videography tool

2025-12-27    -Don

Some tech lab worker in Japan can rejoice. His innovative idea of incorporating an LED video light into a flash unit has convinced a skeptic like me. Though the distance and power of the light is good, IMHO, for 3-5 feet, for the most part, that's all you really need for close up interviews. The dual functionality of this flash and the fact that it looks natural on the DSLR, makes this a great tool for any amateur videographer/photographer.As for the flash -- the tilt functions are great, flash performance is what you would expect from any Canon flash unit. It's bright, and it works. :)

I would consider this flash an OK intermediate needs flash. Its great for the new 70D or Rebel that has a built in flash. I say this, because in order to use as an off camera slave flash, you need the built in flash as the master. This flash is an optic slave unit only. Should you have a second 320EX and be using a 6D or 5D with no built in flash, the 2nd unit will not master. The TTL works well and that's a good thing, because there is no other adjustments for manual use available. Also note that the flash has only two manual positions for mm coverage by physically pulling the head of the flash out or leave it pushed in. There is no manual ability to adjust output manually. The LED light is great if you are in a dark place and need a light to search through your camera bag for small objects or light up the trunk of your car in a dark parking lot, as a video light, not so good. Any subject more than 3' away quickly become dimly lit objects. As I said, good on camera Canon branded flash for point & shoot, but other than that not so good. Even though its been discounted over a $100.00 already, you'd be better off spending the same money on a Yongnuo product and have the manageability options one needs on a DSLR.

El flash cuenta con sulfato/corrosión en el apartado donde se ingresan las baterías.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great flash for amateur/experienced photographer

I am not a pro but I am beyond the basic beginner. I upgraded from a 30D to a 60D which would not work with an older non-Canon flash, so I purchased this one. I plan to do mostly outdoor photography and some movies. The flash seemed a little heavy at first but I adjusted. Normally I don't use a tripod but it would be recommended if one is using this for long periods. I like the option of changing the angle to get the best lighting on the subject. I also bought a diffuser. My shots looked most interesting in TV mode. This flash communicated well between the camera and the wired remote control. If you are just learning about DSLR or don't feel you need so many bells and whistles, this is a good flash. If you are a professional, you may wish to invest in the higher models.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good flash but you can get the next one up with just a small extra investment...

First - even if you are an amature photographer like me, you can seriously upgrade your photos by getting an external flash. A big external flash sometimes seems like a very "proferssional" accessory and people may think only professional photographers need and use it, but once you see how your photos look comparing to ANY built-in flash, you will realize that this is one of the smartests upgrades you can make.this is a very good flash, but with current pricing you can get the next model up, the 430EX-II, for about $30 more. The 430 will give you two main benefits: more light and better AF assitance (Infrared instead of flash bursts). However, the 320 has a nice LED light feature that the 430 doesn't have, which can be useful for shooting movies.I had the 320 for a short while and I liked it.Things I liked:* nice size and weight* quick charge* decent amount of light* can tilt and swivel to bounce light off walls etc.* simple to operate (few very clear buttons)* nice LED feature* easy to use locking mechanism* good pricethings I didn't like (and why I ended up upgrading to 430):* could use more light, especially when bouncing off the ceiling* the next model, 430ex ii, is only $30 more and has more light* I ended up not using the LED light at all...Overall I would recommend this if you are looking for your first external flash and want to save some money by not going for the more expensive models. There's also a cheaper entry level model, the 270, which is supposed to be pretty good and is very attractively priced.

really like the LED for filming

this is my first external flash but i am very impressed with itthe Built-in LED light can is very useful if want to record in movie mode at night or use it as a source of light(flashlight) when preparing your shot before dawn to get that magic sunrise.Versatile vertical and horizontal bounce capability. the head could be moved up 95 degrees up to hit the roof and cover a 360 degrees horizontally which is superb.Flash release function triggers the camera wirelessly from the flash on a 2-second delay. (remember to enable it from your camera first).Wireless Slave function which work like magic.the price is excellent.
