Flash Recommendations?

September 30th, 2010
For my Canon 50D. I would like to spend under $100 for sure. Anybody have any to recommend? Oh, i'm sure it's not a problem, but i feel like apologizing for not being very active this past week. you know, kids and life and such has taken all of my energy at the moment. Anywho, thanks!

If that's your budget just get the canon 270ex

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a good flash for under $100, and I don't personally like the idea of buying second-hand for that type of equipment (you're often buying someone else's problem).

Start with brands like Sigma, who often make great products, but be careful of getting something too underpowered - it can put you off using it or simply make you wish you'd spent a bit more initially.

Lacey,
I have a Nissin flash for my Nikon. Model is Di866 and it's equivalent to Nikon's top line flash but was easily half the price and I really like it. Gets great reviews too.
The Di 466 looks like it's pretty similar to some mid range Canon flashes, again at a much better price. Looks like you can find it for as low as $115 online with a little searching.

Canon Speedlite 430EX II. Set me back ~$350. But it is an absolutely outstanding flash. :)

Yong Nuo YN468, Nissin Di622, Sunpark PZ42X?
Nissin is announcing the Di622 mark 2, maybe can wait some time for the price drop of Di622.
=)
