I have been researching for days. There is some articles about 568EX not firing then fires on s1 and s2.

Can someone help? which flash work best for 300D?

Thanks,

John

Canon's flash control language hasn't changed since the 300D, so any of these should support their full feature set on the 300D.

I have a Nissin Di866, and it works fine on my 300D, the only issue is that it doesn't seem to support 30 foot (over-long) remote TTL cables very well, but you can't ask for everything.

If you want to use the remote flash in slave mode, load the undutchables firmware, which gives you flash exposure comp.
