Recommendations For Compact External Flash to use with Canon G1X III

Chris_N — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 12:18:07 GMT

I recently purchased a Canon G1X III. I like to use bounce flash for horizontal and vertical shots. I have the 430EX which I could use. However the G1X III is such a tiny camera, the flash looks a little out of place. Is there an alternative more compact flash available that can swivel horizontally and vertically for bounce flash?

Kind Regards

Chris

Look into 270EX.

John, thank you for your reply. Had a quick look. It's compact and can do bounce flash for panoramic shots, which is great. Shame it can't swivel the other way for vertical shots. But there may be little else to choose from.

Kind regards

El-100 should work for you.

It's tiny, I have pics of it on an M50 on the product page reviews.
