Canon today announces the launch of the new Speedlite 320EX and
Speedlite 270EX II - a duo of new additions to its leading EX Speedlite
range. Designed for EOS Digital SLR (DSLR) owners who want to use
creative lighting techniques to make their photography more engaging,
each new model is ideal for experimenting with different lighting
set-ups with off-camera support, allowing users to alter subject
lighting and add ambiance to a scene.
Ideal for users of the newly-launched EOS 600D and EOS 1100D DSLRs, the
Speedlite 270EX II replaces the Speedlite 270EX at the entry level of
Canon’s Speedlite range, whilst the Speedlite 320EX is a compact,
powerful and versatile flash for users of mid-level cameras who want to
take more control over lighting. Both new models are compatible with
Canon’s distance-linked E-TTL II system, and can be used on-camera or as
slave units controlled by a separate master unit or the Integrated
Speedlite Transmitter of the EOS 600D, EOS 60D and EOS 7D. Ideal for
more creative home studio shooting or general use, each model adds a new
dimension to portraits or still life shots.
The Speedlite 270EX II - Compact, pocketable light
Perfect for users who want a small, pocketable flash unit, the Speedlite
270EX II is a compact, high-power flash with a guide number of 27 (m/ISO
100) and fast, silent recycling between shots. Flash settings can be
manually controlled through the camera menu system, and photographers
can experiment with the manual bounce flash head for different effects,
as well as the zoom head to ensure efficient light distribution across
the scene.
Providing the freedom for photographers to light a scene in a range of
different ways, the Speedlite 270EX II launches with additional slave
capability, allowing for creative, off-camera use. A new Remote Release
function also wirelessly triggers the shutter release on a compatible
EOS DSLR, allowing users to set up lighting without having to make
repeat trips to the camera. Photographers can frame their shot,
wirelessly trigger the two-second shutter release timer on the camera
body, and then reposition the flash anywhere in the scene - capturing
the image as the camera then fires both the flash and shutter release.
The Speedlite 320EX - versatile and powerful performance
Offering additional functionality, the new Speedlite 320EX is the ideal
flash unit for amateurs and professionals looking for a secondary flash,
featuring the ability to light a scene when recording movies. An LED
flash offers a guide number of 32 (m/ISO 100), as well as the ability to
change the flash coverage from 24mm to 50mm by manually extending or
retracting the flash head. The flash head can also be rotated for more
flexible bounce flash shooting, creating a wider variety of lighting
effects.
The Speedlite 320EX’s slave utility allows it to be controlled by a
master unit via one of four selectable channels. Flash group A, B or C
can also be selected, controlling the relative power of the flash and
the resulting lighting effect. The Speedlite 320EX also features the
Remote Release functionality allowing users to trigger their camera from
the flash.
In a first for Canon Speedlite, the Speedlite 320EX features a Video
Light function, complementing bodies with EOS Movie by enabling users to
illuminate low light scenes continuously when capturing HD video. When
using the Speedlite 320EX in combination with the new EOS 1100D or EOS
600D, Auto Light mode ensures that the LED light automatically turns on
or off according to the ambient light of the scene when in Movie mode.

Why I like the Societies: Pro Imagemaker is a good magazine. An article on free software in 2008 encouraged me to use OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office on my PC. I now use the same package on my iMac as well, saving a considerable sum of money. - Philip P
