I know the version II is not out yet,
I called Canon on this ,and they were of no help.

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 versions???

Thanks
Mike

Not much? Wireless slave capability and the ability to act as a remote shutter release to wirelessly trigger the camera seems like a lot to me.

The Speedlite 270EX II - Compact, pocketable light

Wireless slave function for off-camera flash
Trigger your EOS camera with Remote Release button

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.

Well, I think it's enough information to know what the difference is, and whether or not those features will be useful to you.

Gonzo,msowsun,
Thanks..
I did have the 430ex,but I never felt comfortable using it...it was just to cumbersome.
If I use a flash,4-5 times a year,thats a lot..,so,when the I saw the 270,I kind of jumped on it...Lately,I've been concentrating on Live View landscape shots ,using alternate lenses.

I just ordered the 270,should be here by Saturday.

Thanks Again Guys,
Mike
