There is seldom 'too much power' when a flash has thristor circuitry that terminates the light output when there is enough light for the aperture and ISO in use!

Metz units are tried and proven as professional quality products that have reliable self regulating Auto sensing with reliable and predictable (unlike ETTL flash!) output

Yesterday I got my Metz 76 MZ-5 digital flash. Nice flash but I'd like to see if anyone has experience using it with Rebel xTi and the 20D?

Do these 2 models of cameras have ETTL capabilities?

(unlike ETTL flash!)

Do you not like ETTL?
I'm just reading about it now, what is your input on this?

Thanks
