YongNuo YN-468 E-TTL

Or

Vivitar DF383 Digital TTL

Thoughts? Experiences? Would like some opnions before I order either flash, or suggestion of another one around the 130 price range for a Rebel XS.

Thanks!

No, but I now have 8 - Vivitar 285HV's.

KmH,

Awesome! I will keep this one in mind as well, and thanks for the heads up!

Look into Nissin as well, over 20 years of experience in the industry.

Ummmm Does this mean you think they are good/good value?

I have a YN-465 on an XS, and I'm glad of it. However I do not have any other experience.

As much as I like KMH's suggestion ( I have a few of those too) but I think the OP's interested in those two options because they claim E-TTL support (the 283/285 do not).

Does anyone have any good input on third party E-TTL flashes? My experience with third party support of E-TTL flashes was not that great but this was a long long time ago.
