flash will make all your lenses better, easy choice.

I second that. 430 is a good use of that money, leaves you with a little extra to put towards filters, bags, beer, any array of things really.

Flash will make photography a totally different experience.

Photographers are a strange bunch. What other group of people would go up to a bunch of strangers and say, "Here, spend my money for me"?

If you don't have any photographic need you have noticed because you couldn't get a specific shot that you could get with specific equipment, don't buy anything.

Save your money until you know what you NEED.

thanks guys.. i will look into gettin one

by the way what other lens should i add to my kit in the near future?

85/1.8

Like others have said, the 430 EX

I think I'll get this for myself for Christmas.

A telephoto? 70-200 f/4 or a 55-250 IS depending how much you want to spend / what your needs are.

10-20MM An excellent lens to walk around with.

I say flash and then save up for a quality lens.

That said, that tamron 17-280 with VR is looking pretty good for a beginner...

i would rec. the 580ex ii
it's only about 350. well worth the $100 difference.

look into it.
and as far as lens, i really want the 85 1.8 (hopefully getting it for xmas!)

Yup, if you're going to get a flash, go for the 580 II EX.
