Can anybody recommend a flash fun, compatible with a Canon Digital SLR?
I don't really want top spend much more than £100. The easy route would be to buy the chepaest Canon flash gun , as that is the camera brand I have, but I have a feeling that a less-well know brand might offer better value and more features or power.. Any ideas?
 
Search on ebay/amazon might throw a few things up, I'm into a bit of photography myself but flashguns arent my thing-sorry :)

Depends what you want it for as well, is it for portrait type work, or are you doing night photography? as for certain things lightpainting works far better (y)
 
Thanks a lot. I have found one on ebay/Amazon which seems to be very similar to the branded ones, only about £100 less. The only thing is I think I've made a mistake by going for power rather than a "TTL" model, but surely with digital these days you can take the shot, and if the light level is wrong, you can adjust the light and then take it again? I'll soon find out, as soon as my"super saver 3-5 days delivery" turns up!
 
Of course you can do the shot again, also if your camera allows you to shoot in RAW then you are far less limited when it comes to editing on a computer, at least with a flash gun you aren't as limited on settings and can use slow synch for example
