Hey peeps!
I've got a friend who needs advice. He is looking for a good flash for his Canon Rebel XS. He normally does location portrait photography. Any suggestions? I'll really appreciate it! Thanks!

Depending on power requirements there are 3 options usually (starting at the cheapest):
1) Canon 430EX II 2) Sigma 530 DG Super 3) Canon 580EX II All of which give full control over flash output levels as well as ETTL

Check out the Yongnuo line of flashes, their newest model yn560 is comparable to the Canon 580 series but will cost less than $100

yongnuo 560 doesnt do e-ttl though. check out the yongnou 468.
*edit* sorry, I should add, if e-ttl is something they would be using. If not then it doesn't really matter
