Can I use the Olympus FL-40 flash with the Canon 20D camera Ive ordered. I would be sad to see the flash being sold since it cost alot of money, but I do need a good flash in automode for my new Canon 20D camera. Will the Canon camera be able to controll it in auto mode?

Sorry no, different TTL contacts and methods. Best to sell it and get a Canon TTL flash for your 20D.

Thats to bad..I just recently bought it, so it feels like a waste of money now. On the bright side of everything Im getting an awesome camera. Could you maybe give me a tip of which flash I should use on the Canon 20D that could yield the same results the FL-40 does for Olympus. Something thats reasonably priced as well?
