I've got this flash, and I basically like it. Its biggest weakness with Canon is that it doesn't have a selectable manual mode - it ALWAYS shoots E-TTL, unless you physically block off the E-TTL pin on the hot shoe. You cannot turn the power up or down. It's all E-TTL.
That said, for the price, it's the best Canon E-TTL available that I know of. Head rotates well and it rotates a LOT. The zoom is manual only, but it works okay.
As to shooting faster than 1/200, that's more of a camera issue. The flash "on" time is something like 1/4000, I think, not positive, but the camera cannot sync that fast. You'll need a higher end camera to go to really fast syncs.
I would prefer a Canon 550EX, but simply cannot afford one right now.
And just so you know, the Bower is pretty cheap at //www.adorama.com, as well, and you run a lot less risk than you do with ebay. I think they're only 80 bucks or something like that brand new.
