D60 and 480eg

[mhawker]

I will be upgrading to a D60 (after I add my name to the waiting list!) from my Elan IIE and want to get the best possible flash for wedding photography.

I typically use a standard flash and I'm considering the 480eg. I shoot large groups many times and want to make sure I have plenty of power.

First, do you know if the 480eg will fit the D60? And what are your opinions of the 480?

Thanks,

Mike

Only EX series flashes will work with the D60's ettl system. Look into the 420EX or the 550EX. Sigma makes the EF500 Super, metz makes a unit too.
