Hi.
I have a question about a hot shoe flash for a Canon P&S camera. Someone from here suggested that i get a 430EX so that i can bounce...back then i could not, i bought a Vivitar 3200a. Extremely inexpensive, and did the most of the job, though i still dont have a clue as to how to effectively control it using colour coded settings on it. The 2 problems with the vivitar are that; A- it takes a couple tries before i get the amount of flash right and, B-The white balance isnt right for any of the inbuilt modes. But the time's right to go in for a better flash.
So I short list the suggestion and another Sunpack PZ42X.
I'd be using the flash to take snaps of people/groups indoors. bouncing it and using a white card to reflect some light st. forward, like i did with the Vivitar. The TTL would be of help with the newer flash....
