Ok I am trying to find a decent "starter" type flash... The Canon 580EX is too expensive. The 430EX isn't too bad price wise.... but where would this Vivitar stack up? VIVDF383CAN Vivitar DF383 Digital TTL Shoe Mount Power Zoom /Swivel /Bounce Auto-Focus Flash for Canon TTL, Guide Number 45m (147')
If it has many of the same features.... then am I really just paying for the Canon brand? I have a 20 year old Vivitar that still works.... Just not electronic controls and what not.
This is a flash for a Canon 30D, right now with just a 18-55 kit lens... after the holidays it should have the 50mm 1.8 a well and maybe another to be named later
