Enjoy your 550EX. I love mine, been using it for many years with the EOS-3 and now the G6. It's a wonderful flash, very dependable, and has never let me down.

That's exactly why I bought a similar flash to my aging 540EZ - I've had it for about 7 years, tens of thousands of photos, no troubles. There is something to be said about owning the OEM gear, whether it's lenses or flashes.

I've heard some not-too-great comments about the new 580EX; probably has bugs to iron out.

Hi, can I add a question here? I just bought a used 550ex for my Rebel XT. I'm trying to figure out from the manual if I have a type A or B camera. Anybody know? Thanks.

Hi, The XT should be able to use all functions of the 550, including "ETTL", therefore making it a type "A" camera. :D
