[shorinji]

My head is really pUSING2 rite now. I don't know which one should i choose. So i really need a help from u guys out there. Please send me a clue. I wanna to know the image difference by using 430ex and 580ex. I don't need a top range speedlite if i can shoot good image with the normal one (not without the branded lorr). So..please share with me. Thanks for ur time.

Always buy a flash that can light up far far background.
You never know when you need that flash power.:)

Yah better to get too much power than not enough, 580ex II is a great flash.

Get the best you can afford.

yeah.. take the best.. if not you will regret later....

[davors]

yeah... i have the 580EX II... no regrets...

with this.. you can borrow 430EX from frens and make it as slave unit...

you take control!!!
wahahaha!

anyway... depends on your purposes... and your budget...
generally... 430EX is also very good... just cannot be master only... hehe..

580EX... Don't like me... regret..
But then that time, 430EX was all i can afford

[shakyhand]

580EX if got budget.... no question... but if no budget, then what to do.... 430ex lorr....

After that learn to love your flash.... use it.... that's why I bought 40D... because paintless stainless steel flash shoe.... my 30D flash shoe got worn out because I use so much flash.... :)

time to get more rechargeable batteries.

I got 1 week to adapt before going to shoot my first real assignment for wedding dinner. I sure hope my natural ability to learn with my hands kick in again. Read The Manual sure confused me. :azz:
