Just after some advice guys, Ive had DSLRs in the past and usually the first thing to be sold off if I want cash for another gadget.

Thinking of picking up a budget Canon body (1200d) with a 50/1.4 Canon lens. Question is whether to also pick up a Speedlite 430ex?

Will be used mostly for;

Fiancee collects expensive pottery, so some very classy shots of those (she may be writing a book and using said photos)
Portraits of family / pet
Shots of my car
Various junk sold on ebay
Also like the idea of shooting 1080p video after seeing some stunning vids on youtube

With a 50/1.4, will a ceiling bounced flash add anything to the mix?

Likewise any suggestions on body would be good, 1200d or 600d?
