dwarf my pro1 haha

If you think that's bad.. try the 580EX

Next, extend the flash head straight up, and attach a flash-card diffuser with a rubber band... With my G5, I have to be reeealllly careful where I set this contraption down, its so topheavy. However, once in hand, I feel it actually handles better, because one hand can stay on the back of the flash...

well i suppose it has a few pro's

1) the obvious better quality flash
2) when i take it out i can say "hey baby look at the size of my flash" haha

So ... go buy some conversion lenses

The best thing you could do for your flash would be to buy a diffuser... (omnibounce or the like) makes close photography (portraits) where bouncing the flash isnt possible (outdoors???) better
