I know there are the canon Speedlites which are towards the expensive end of camera mountable flashes, and then on the other end of the spectrum, the Vivitar 285hv which lacks any sort of TTL or iTTL.

If I do I will be getting the tiny Canon flash with it. It is tiny and will be used onlu whenI would have needed the pop up flash...as in rarley... but dont need a big flash. Such as fill for snapshots.
