external flash for my fuji s9100

[mparker]

i am looking for a halfway decent external flash... $$$ is the deciding factor dont want to spend a bunch of money for something that might not be compatible with the next camera down the road...

and would it be a waste of money to use a flash bracket/grip with this grade of camera?
