I have to really pinch pennies, so-to-speak. I'll have the camera, kit lens, and nothing else.....except.... I need a flash. I'm wondering what's the most affordable flash I can get that isn't weak. I'm considering the 430 EX II. Will that suffice for general use? I can't afford the big boys. Also, I'd prefer to stay with Canon instead of an off-brand. Thanks Yes 430 would do fine. I've taken many pictures with it and it works great. Specially if you have it off camera.

A nice feature is that the zoom on the flash head matches the kit 24-105 lens and is automatic. -ERJL

Late afternoon walk. Both of us with new toys - a 6D for me and a green ball for Gus.

Thanks I have a 430ex ii as well as a Yongnuo 560 ii and they are both as good as each other. The Yongnuo was only $70 and it doesn't have ettl, but the next model up (565) is around $100 I think and does have ttl.

Jan 18, 2014 21:13 | #7734 I have used the yongnuo 560iii since I got a DSLR; a pair of receivers and you have OCF and remote shutter since the flash has a receiver built in. Works great for me, full manual is fine for my enthusiast usage. 6D | EF 35 f2 IS | EF 50 f1.4 | EF 85 f1.8 | EF 135 f2.0

Thanks Yongnuo has built quite a reputation as a great off-brand flashes.. the 565ex is ETTL and works just as well if not better than the canon equivalents. It is 100% controllable through the 6d's menu. I've had one for 2 years now without a single problem. best of all its only about $100. (yes I know you said you'd prefer canon brand) Ryan - flickr
