Canon's latest flash is the Canon Speedlite 270EX, and the reviews are coming in great for this camera accessory.

The Speedlite 270 EX comes with a zoom head (ensuring better and much more proficient light distribution) and a bounce flash head (enabling the flash light to bounce off a ceiling thus producing a picture with better depth and softer tones). It’s the enhanced circuit designing that offers the gizmo a silent recharging feature. Powered by 2 AA batteries, the Speedlite 270EX is quite simple to be set-up and be controlled courtesy your camera menu bar. On a whole, the Speedlite 270EX serves to be a perfect complement of your graphic genius.
