Canon Camera Flash Bracket
Will all Canon flashes work with any Canon SLR camera?

I have a Canon XSI SLR. I was wanting to know if all of Canon’s flashes will work with all Canon cameras. I am looking to buy a flash and I only have about $350-$400 to spend on it. I’m also wanting to get a tilt, grip bracket. I kind of have the kind of bracket that I want in mind. I just wasn’t sure about the flash. I know other brands make products that work with Canon. Is it better to stick with Canon since it is a Canon camera? I’m so confused. Any info would be helpful, because I’ve been reading a lot of stuff online and it’s not making any since to me. Thanks!

Any Canon gun with the EX suffix will work safely with your camera.

The best guns for digital SLRs are the 430 EX or 430 EX II or 580 or 580 EX II, as these account for sensor size and transmit white balance info.

All of these guns have bounce, swivel & tllt heads, all have auto zoom (where the angle of flash coverage changes with the effective focal length of the lens) and all have useful features which make it worth spending the extra on the genuine canon EX gun:

Full E-TTL & E-TTL II preflash metering (you can also use flash exposure lock)

High speed synch (you can fire the flash even with speeds as high as 1/8000th)

First or second curtain synch (for moving subjects in low light)

All focus points active during AF assist

Most thrid party guns won’t offer any of these very very useful features, none will offer all. They make flash photography a pleasure rather than a pain.

The more expensive 580 guns have more power & faster recycling and can be used as a master in a slave set up, the 430s are still pretty powerful but can only be slaves.

The new gun the 270EX looks like a good budget option but offers only tilt and is a lot lower in power than even the 430EX (which makes the most of its power with the zoom)

I’d go for a 430 EX or 430 EX 2 and a cheap camcorder L bracket with hotshoes ($20) use a E-TTL off-shoe cable to connect camera to flash, and this gives you a dedicated versatile set up.

If money really is tight then used guns like the 380 EX (tilt only) 420 EX and 550EX will all do a job for you, but in the digital age you really want a flash that has been designed with digital in mind, the cropped sensor issue in particular, which applies to your XSi.

Good luck.

G7 to G11

Canon Powershot G9

The G7 marked a major change in the G series. Previous G series models had featured a fast lens, RAW image format capture, and a tilt-and-swivel LCD. These were all considered hallmark features of the G series, but were removed or altered for the G7. Some of the major changes included:

Introduction of a lens with a minimum F number of 2.8, compared to 2.0 in other G series cameras. Although slower, this lens introduced improvements such as optical image stabilisation, a higher zoom range (6), and a macro mode that would focus as close as 1 cm. The lens would also retract completely into the camera.

Change to a fixed LCD rather than a tilt-and-swivel model. The fixed LCD was larger (2.5″ versus 2.0″ on the G6) and increased the number of pixels by 75%.

Removal of RAW image format on G7, but returned for the G9, G10 and G11.

No infrared remote control.

Change from CompactFlash to SDHC card storage.

Black, mostly metal, body.

Many of the changes made allowed the G7 to be significantly slimmer than previous G series cameras (e.g., the thickness of the G7 is 4.25 cm while the G6 is 7.3 cm), making it more portable.

The decision to remove RAW shooting support was heavily criticized. DPReview stated that they were disappointed with the loss of RAW format, while Luminous Landscape stated that the removal of RAW meant that too many technical decisions had to be made while shooting instead of post-processing. RAW support can be enabled on the G7 using a free firmware add-on.

The G9 was released in 2007. Among its features were restored RAW support, a larger LCD screen, and a 1/1.7″ sensor rather than the 1/1.8″ sensor on previous models, .

The G11, released in 2009, reintroduced the flip out and twist LCD.

Accessories

Canon Powershot G9 with custom accessories

The Powershot G series can accept a number of photographic accessories. Filters and other threaded lens accessories can be used with an adapter tube. Adapter tubes are available from Canon or third party suppliers. Most adapter tubes have 58 mm filter threads. In addition to standard filters and close-up lenses, the adapter tube can be used to attach wide angle or telephoto converter lenses to the Powershot G series. Starting with at least the G9 model, there is a bayonet mount on the front of the camera around the lens to directly attach lenses and accessories.

Powershot G series cameras have a standard threaded socket for mounting to a monopod or tripod. This can also be used for attaching the camera to various brackets or adapters.

With the hot-shoe for external flash, the Powershot G series can accept not only compatible flash units but also various connecting cords and wireless triggers. However, the Powershot G series is sensitive to the voltage produced by certain flash units, particularly older designs. Canon recommends that the maximum trigger voltage be less than 6 volts for any flash or accessory attached to the hot-shoe.

Flash compatibility is somewhat of an issue with the Powershot G series. Canon EX flashes are compatible but all EX features may not necessarily be usable. In particular, when the Powershot G is in manual exposure mode, the external flash is also in manual mode; that is, ETTL flash control is not operable.
