After some advice on buying a flash gun, looking at Jessops own 360 or a canon speedlight, the speedlight been over £100 more!
Has anyone used/got one or the other and offer any advice, if the Jessops one is any good or is really rubbish?
have a look at the nissin di622, it gets good reviews and I've got one coming off Santa for my 400d
I bought a second-hand 420EX from ebay for c.£80 years ago, its been good. Never tried the Jessops ones, maybe search Talk photography or dpreview forums for opinions? The Canon one should hold it's value pretty well though. If it were me, i'd bite the bullet and get the Canon.
Have a look on talkphotographym you can get own brand flahsnuns (nissin and yongnuo I think) for around £50. I use Yongnuo radio triggers and they've been fine
flahsnuns
phwoarrrrr!!!
I've got the top end sigma one on my 400d body. Think it was about £120 a few years ago, but has the equivilent featureset of the £250 canon job. Been pleased with it, but have no grounds for comparison
Be done with ya! Get the 580EX and amaze your friends with the tricks it'll do!
Got out and got the 430ex speedlight, it's magic! Just off to batterylogic now for some nice powerfull rechargeable AA'a.
Cheers for the advice
I had one of these on my 350D:

Excellent in every way, at less than half the price of a Canon Speedlight.
There is a slightly more powerful one in the range, so have a look.
