I want to buy a flash, but I'm not sure if it will fit my camera.
I am probably going to buy this flash : http://www.ebay.com …ashes&hash=item​53e8cb711f (external link)
I use to Canon EOS D60. Will it fit?
Thank you.

It should work. I think that you need to read the description carefully to make sure it matches your expectations - it's not going to couple to the Canon "automation" by using the additional hotshoe contacts - as the description of the flash says "standard on-camera flash unit" ......

If you look around a bit on Amazon you will learn a bit more about how the word "Canon" or "Nikon" in the product description can be removed and the product does not change. Be careful of extra "marketing words"

Hmm..I'm clueless when it comes to flashes.. :/
I need one for a science fair project, and my mom wants to use it on my camera too.
So, honestly..I have no clue what to look for.

Okay, thank you.
I think I need to be able to change the settings on the flash. Will I be able to do this?

Yes, the 465 or 467 both have a fully automatic ETTL mode that allows you to do a + or - Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) to fine tune the exposure.

They also have full manual mode where you set the power manually (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, etc)

1/2, 1/4, and 1/16 (1/64 optional);
Taken from the project write-up.
Seems like I can do that then. I really appreciate you putting up with me, lol.
