Canon announces Speedlite 270EX flashgun
Canon has announced the launch of the Speedlite 270EX, an enhanced flash designed for EOS and PowerShot users, which will replace the popular Speedlite 220EX flashgun.
The Speedlite 270EX has a bounce head so you can bounce flash off a ceiling for softer results and more even lighting.
The Speedlite 270EX is aimed at photographers who want to expand their flash photography beyond the built-in flash and for those who want a small, pocketable flash unit to complement their EOS-1D or EOS 5D series cameras. The compact Speedlite 270EX builds on the success of its predecessor with more power than usual for its class and size.
The Speedlite 270EX includes a host of new features not available with a built-in flash. These include the addition of a zoom head to ensure efficient light distribution, plus a bounce flash head to enable light from the flash to bounce off a ceiling to produce pictures with more flattering lighting and softer tones and depth. The unit's improved circuitry offers near silent recharging and enables similar recharging times to its predecessor, despite being powered by just two AA batteries.

- Fast, silent recycle times
