Speedlite 320EX

[bwana]

Has anyone had any experience with the new 320EX? My 580EX II decided to take a vacation and I'm looking for a short term substitute. So far I've narrowed it down to this or the 430EX II.

Dunno if you've seen this:

What happened to the 580?

Thanks for that - I'm leaning towards the 430EX II even more.

Not sure what happened to the 580 - it's being looked at now.

The modelling light on the 320 could be quite useful for things like macro-type shots, but if I had the choice, I think I'd also go for the 430.

After finding out it would take 10+days for the parts to arrive I ordered the 430 yesterday, just arrived now. Nice little flash.

The 430EX II is a GREAT little flash I enjoy mine... but one day soon it will be a slave to the 580

It will be nice to have my 580 back but this will replace my ageing sigma, which doesnt work with my 7D, nicely.

are you planning on selling the sigma off?

No, it's still useful as an off camera flash.

Don't update it.
