SPEEDLITE 320EX

The 320EX is a new flash designed to serve two purposes simultaneously. It’s a traditional flash for still photography, but it also contains a white LED to provide continuous light for shooting video with the new video DSLR’s.
Unfortunately, I found the 320EX to be the worst of both worlds. It was mediocre both as a still flash as as a video light.
As a traditional flash, it lacks the focus-assist beam, the manual power mode, and the automatic zoom head found on the larger flashes (you can zoom it manually—if you remember to.)
As a video light, its LED is only useful in fairly dark situations. It can’t provide enough fill light to overcome even moderate backlight, and for shooting professional-looking video it’s not an option. (However, it could be a lifesaver in a truly dark setting where you suddenly needed to shoot some video.)
I find that when I’m shooting video, I need stronger lights, and when I’m shooting stills, I need a more capable flash.
So I sold my 320EX on eBay and used the money toward another 430EX II.
