opus set up?

Hi all,

Just a quick question. New to all this. What takes better portraits.

1) 20D with 4 photofloods (main, fill, background and hair) or

2) 20D with an Opus OPL-M40 Flash Socket/Umbrella & soft box (main & fill)

I am trying to gather a nice home portrait/protable set up but I am not sure which one takes better pictures.

I like the pictures from the photofloods but would the flash set up work better? I have 580 EX. Would that with the opus soft box and umbrella do a better job?

I am sure the flash would be better for babies ( no heat and bright lights) but would the quality be as nice? I dont want to buy it and not like it. Have any of you shot with the an opus set up?

Many thanks

I'm going to move this thread into "Talk About Photography". I think you'll get more people with appropriate knowledge there.

BTW, welcome to the forum.
