TPF Noob!
I've been shopping around for an on-camera flash unit for my T2i for a while that isn't more than $100. I have access to a Canon 430ex, as my father has one, but I'd like to get my own for everyday shooting. I take a lot of pictures indoors, at events, family gatherings, etc. I am looking for something that has a swiveling head, can bounce light, and has E-TTL for Canon cameras. Not really interested in doing too much off camera flash work (just yet anyway).
So the 430ex is nice, but I am seeing a lot of third party flashes being talked about for under $100. What I have been looking at recently is the YN-468, which seems to have what I am looking for but there are a lot others that are either cheaper, same price, and very similar (Vivitar, Bower, etc.)
Figured I'd ask you all what you think I should invest in. Again, I am really just looking for on-camera E-TTL that I can swivel and bounce flash.
