Dear Board,

I'd like to get an on camera flash for my FZ200. I want bounce capability and TTL function and I'd like to spend less than $ 150.00 since the flash will not be used a great deal.

Can anyone recommend a flash that fits my budget based on personal use of the flash? I've read a number of on-line reviews for various third party flashes and all of them seem to have reviews that say their particular flash is either the greatest thing since sliced bread or the worst piece of junk ever made. It's difficult to get an accurate sense of how good or how bad a product is from many on-line reviews because you have no knowledge of the reviewer.

I figured if I ask here and have people speak about flashes that they use and how the flashes perform that might help me.

Thank you,

Tim Murphy

I own the Nissin i40, it's at $270, so a little above your budget, but it's great.. You might want to consider the Metz 26 AF-1, that may be the best option in the <$150 range...
