I am thinking about getting a flashgun for my Canon 400d, was wondering on suggetions... I am looking to spend around £150 at the most. Thanks

Canon 430EX possibly?

The 430EX is probably a decent choice, it's not got quite as much grunt as the 580EX but is considerably cheaper. Avoid the 220EX, you can't angle the flash head so it's not possible to bounce the flash to remove harsh shadows.

There are third party units available from Metz and Sigma but I've no experience of them so don't want to comment on how easy they are to use.

Thanks for the advice, I am looking at the Canon 430EX now. Seems like a decent flashgun and the one that most affordable to me at the moment. The main feature I was looking for was to bounce the flash of ceilings etc. Which it has

Once again thanks for the suggestion.

i love my 430ex. i didn't need the power or extra features of the 580ex so the 430 suits me perfectly. and it was under £150 from kerso. super
