Take a trip down to your local camera store (the better ones, not the shopping mall variety) and pick one up. The price should be about $10 US. Skip Douglas

Everyone seems to like the AB but I read the SP ones are not bad and u get 2 lights and stand and umbrellas for like 10bucks more I much prefer the AlienBees lights over other lower-priced units. Their functionality is all I could ask for and their build quality is quite good. I am an electronics tech with lots of experience, and have taken one of mine apart for inspection. I was impressed with the quality of their internal construction. Skip Douglas

None of them will carry all the signals from the Canon hotshoe through. You wouldn't want them to anyhow, in my opinion. Skip Douglas
