Deke Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've decided to buy myself a flash to use with my Canon G9 as a Christmas present this year. Any suggestions as to what I might get that doesn't cost almost as much as the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Canon 430EX if you can find one if not the 430 EX II is a good match, if you want to take it off camera (as you should) buy a TTL cord for it as well, a non-canon (but made for Canon) is best value. And don't forget an omnibounce to soften the light... If you are a Strobist type you can get the Vivitar 285HV cheap. Cheers Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyd Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Any idea where I could get a non-canon cord in Thailand? I have a 420EX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 You can buy it from fotofile.net just Go English, then Flash and scroll down to Tristar, there is a Shoe Mount for Canon E-TTL for 1550 Baht versus the Canon for 2800 baht. There is one for Nikon as well for anyone who uses Nikon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bard Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 No worries, I use the 430 EX II off camera and it is brilliant on my camera. Love it, put on a stofen diffuser buy a pack of gels and have a lot of fun with it. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1176/316980...6dfdd56.jpg?v=0 Used off camera cord with a 430 EX II and stofen diffuser, put the flash in -1ev and it came out like this unaltered in any software. I like it not a super picture but it was the 20th shot I did with the flash which is incredibly easy to use a bit more creative than just auto setting.
