Pulled it out the box and attached it on (didnt read the manual first) and here are my first impressions:

1) First thing I did was put it in Multi and aim it at the ceiling lights and caught my mom in a candid... HOLY COW, how did I live without an external flash so long?

2) The menu is complicated but I think I can figure it out in due time

3) The instruction manual is retardedly overcomplicated

4) I got some good Energizer 2100mAh to do me over til I get some MAHAs later, but I see why the charger was so cheap: 14 hour charger.

5) Are you supposed to charge NiMH out the pack?

6) I REALLY have to get used to the imbalance of the 20D now with this big piece of plastic on top of it.

Hopefully I can get some photos tonight and post em up and join the flash club (and bug scottes about flash information, hehe).

You need a BG-E2 battery grip and a 300F2.8 IS lens to balance it out nicely. :wink:
External flashes are so nice, eh?
