I jumped the gun and ordered a "Bower 724-AFC TTL Flash for Canon EOS Rebel GII K2 TI 2000 Elan 7e 7"
Now I come to realize it may not be compatiable with my S5. Any insight on this?
Thanks
Pam

The Bower website is light on details; I believe all the cameras listed in your blurb are TTL, and the S5 requires E-TTL. If so, the flash would be usable only in Manual. Jon

Thank you for your reply. I'm after reading so much about TTL and E-TTL that I'm getting confused. I really hope it works. And if it only works in manual mode I'll be ok with that for the price I paid for it.

The listing is for the EOS (film) Rebel G II, not the PowerShot G2. I don't believe it'll fry the camera; it just won't give you auto flash. Jon
