I'm thinking of swapping my 430EX or 420EX for a 320EX so I can get the video light function. Can anyone comment on what I'd be giving up and how well the video light on the 320 works? I use the two flashes in a wireless ETTL mini-strobist setup from time to time, but it looks like the 320EX supports that, too.

Thanks.

Normally I'm a good googler, but I missed that one. Thanks.

I would still like some personal experience if anyone has any.

Watch this video and you will see that it is a combo unit that sort of does two things but not very well. You will see in his test of the video light, you can not even tell that he turned it on. People shooting video use big lights for a reason. They actually work.

Yeah, that doesn't look to great. The 320EX seems pretty pared down compared to my 400 series flashes, too.

Well thanks for the replies, don't think I'm going to go that route. I just saw the 320EX on sale at Canon and it piqued my interest.
