I was going to get a speedlite 430 ex11 , from jessops using tesco cc vouchers unfortunately for all, thats not going to happen.
I have been having a look around and just keep going in circles so heres the question.
Are these flashes that claim to be as good or better than the speedlite and £100 -£150 compared to £200ish worth it or am I better off just stumping up the extra and buying the canon speedlite.
Definately going to get one just the question is which.
At this precise moment in time I dont need it to be a master or really want to play with manual settings.

If you or anyone else can offer advice feel free or just ignore me if you cant be bothered its :cool:

It really depends on what do you want to use it for:A Here is a short video, hope it helps ( plenty of reviews on youtube).

It really depends. For your best advice, ask on Talk Photography, which is a lovely friendly forum with lots of people on there who know much than I!

I have a Fuji S9600 bridge and a collection of old/cheap flashguns (Jessops own brand £25 quid ones) which I use to a greater or lesser extent, and have been able to produce perfectly passable Pro Style portraits (Hi key, white background jobs as well as more formal looking shots, saves me a fortune on School photos) so they don't make that much difference.

I do know that if you want the flash to E-TTL with the camera (something I cant do) then using a flash that will do this will make you shots easier. If I am correct, Jessops did do an own brand one which you coule get used on fleabay which would be a good introduction to flash and you could then sell on again so is not going to cost you much.
You could then splash on a Canon one when you are more familiar with what you will shoot and what settings you need.

Don't forget to bounce the flash when inside, and instead of a Stofen Diffuser (££££) an empty Carex liquid soap bottle (take flash to T's and check the size of your flash) which is empty and the top cut off)

My camera doesn't even have a built in flash :cool::D

I usually 'paint' the light in with a torch etc if needs be

Like so:

Painting with light is a great art! V hard to do, but lots of fun. I like it when people combine it with long shutter speeds of stars, and then use a poweful torch to paint a building at the same time.
