External Flash for Canon EOS

[Bob Hettinger]

I am starting the search for an external flash for my camera and found this one online: http://www.amazon.com/Vivitar-DF383-Digital-Swivel-Auto-Focus/dp/B001TP6TDW/ref=pd_ys_qtk_wl_img?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2CPB7UEW7ILMT&colid=69SEO2L12AIE&pf_rd_p=1286263542&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=home&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIK

Have any of you used this flash? What are the pros or cons in using it? Price, unfortunately is a huge factor. I cannot afford the $500 Canon model.

just get a 430ex ii - forget the third party ones.

Canon just announced two more cheaper flashes as well, the 320EX and 270EX II: http://www.dpreview.com/news/1102/11020706canonspeedlights.asp
