I bought it to add hard drive capacity to my laptop. The PNY flash drive is doing everything I hoped.

Canon Flash Lite
3 of 4 found this helpful Let me preface with this: I'm a regular Canon user; I've bought and used a dozen or more Canon bodies, lenses and flash units. But...a number of times I've bumped up against Canon's unwillingness to maintain lens-body and flash-body compatibility/continuity. This was one of them.
Back in the day I used a Canon Speedlite 420 EZ on my film bodies. But that flash unit did not transfer to the newer digital SLRs I bought after bidding adieu to film. The 420 EZ works only in Manual mode on these digital SLRs. Why couldn't those brilliant Canon engineers make my sturdy 420 EZ flash unit work with the newer digital bodies, even in a simple TTL or ATTL mode? Could it be the marketing folks whispered more loudly in the boss's ear?
In any case, this meant I had to go searching for a compatible flash for my digital SLRs, and I decided to purchase the 420 EX, which I bought on Ebay for a good price. (Be not confused here with the two models I'm referring to: the older 420 EZ (for film cameras) and the newer 420 EX (for digital cameras).) Here are the pluses I found in the 420 EX I recently bought: (1)Light-weight, yet powerful. Fits nicely in my camera bag. (2) Simple and easy to use. Turn it on and you're ready to go. (3) The automatic zoom feature is very handy, so you don't use more energy off the batteries than you need for the lens coverage (although sometimes the coverage angle doesn't quite match the lens). (4) Works as a slave (although I haven't used it in that way yet).
Now for the not-so-nice features: (1) The battery compartment door might as well have a little sign on it: "Break me," it's that flimsy. And though forewarned by having read reviews on this problem with this flash unit before I bought it, I still managed to apply too many milligrams of pressure at the wrong angle, and boink, off it came. Fortunately, it still can be worked back onto the battery compartment opening. (In fact, I think it works better broken. Go figure.) In general, the heft and feel of this unit (compared to my trusty but unusable 420 EZ) leads you to treat it as gently as your 92-year-old Uncle Bert. (2) No LCD display, which is a handy feature for knowing what's going on. (3) You have to press buttons to tilt or swivel, which slows down your shooting.
Bottom line: an OK unit for simple flash work.
Now, any engineers out there who can re-wire my trusty 420 EZ?
