Speedlite for Canon 50D

[kitkatdubs]

I am looking to purchase a speedlite for my Canon50D and wondering if anyone has any recommendations. There are so many different kinds out there I feel so overwhelmed. Any links to Amazon where I can directly buy would be super helpful. Thank you!

560iii and iv are the same thing except the iv can act as a transmitter. The neewer is a monolight so its a bit different in that its way bigger and need to be plugged in. I would buy them all again and probably will.

So which version would you recommend I look into buying?

Do I need anything else to make it work or does it connect directly to my camera?

If you are asking that question then you need to read this site first. Strobist: Lighting 101

Your should have knowledge before you buy rather than gaining that unhappy knowledge after you buy.

Are you looking to use the flash on-camera or off-camera?
