Ok....thanks for the info!!!! What about the 270ex speedlight? Is that a manual one too since its smaller or what? It says it will fit on the powershots too so just wondering outloud here

I don't know anything about the 270EX, but here's a review on it. It may work for you, but the 565EX is less than $20 more.

Then I use Photoshop Elements 11 for any final tweaks. GIMP will do it all but a reasonably steep learning curve at first - however it is totally free, as it's open source.
