I'm relatively new to photography and in need of some advise. I have a CANON 300D and need to choose a flash. My photographs are mainly portraits and using the built-in flash, the pictures turn out too white. I am on a student budget, and it seems canon flashes are a bit pricey. Are there any cheap speed flashes that I could use for fill-in flash? my price range is under $200.

Canon: EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, 50mm f/1.8, 24-70mm f/2.8L
Sigma: 75-300 f/4 Tamron: 24-70mm f/2.8

420EX is better than the on-camera flash.

just don't get the sunpack 5000. It won't work with your camera. And their customer service is terrible
