@salbahis: Ako suggestion is just bite the bullet and get the 430EXII. I regret getting the Nissin di622 Mark I kay it's now misfiring often labi na 3rd party pud ako lens. It was misfiring already when I had a Canon prime lens but not as often as with a 3rd party. Surprisingly, it didn't misfire when I used manual focus lenses. I'm guessing dili na magsinabot protocols na gigamit sa 3rd party lens ug Nissin.

I'm now selling the Nissin di622 to an officemate despite my insistence he buys a Canon. Ang naka nindot pud sa mga OEM lenses is naa distance indicator to help you gauge unsa kalayo abot suga at certain ISO/aperture combinations.

well 430ex is really on the my must-get-items-before-i-die when budget permits, pwede man nako na paliton this weekend apparently ang budget was divided to other things so i was left with little to spend sa flash ug other accesories... mao man sad suggest sa ako friend kanang 430exII...

just like how i started with my other hobby start with low-end/entry-level then when i out-grow it i go for high-end ones if i want to get serious.... thanks sa imo input sir noted....

Nissin or Vivitar bai, and ang Nissin Di866 - mga 14K kapin ra and it's the PRO series of Nissin's Flashies

if 14k kapin ang nissin, adto na lang sa canon derecho kay gamay na lang kuwang.

if on a tight budget, would a canon 270ex flash be a good option?

no because dli ka ka bounce. and if you're getting an external flash, IMHO, one of the most important things you have to be able to do with it is to bounce light off of a ceiling, or a wall.

Google reviews sa Yongnuo YN 565ex... I just unbox mine from hongkong and will be testing it once makapalit batteries. It is said to be a replica sa canon 580 ex. Di lang xa pwede ma master and no high speed sync... You can get one sa macy for 7500 pesos.
