Noob to flash setups , looking to get started

2 noob questions..

1) Which Yongnuo flash would work with a 7D if I do decide to get one

2) Would I be able to use the wireless flash function with the Yongnuo and if not what other budget brand of flash would work?

Sorry if I'm thread hijacking but the op's title fit me perfectly as well

Got my YN-468 in the mail today!

Can't wait to use it at my cousins house on Christmas.

One complaint I have so far, no diffuser

My YN-465 arrived after about two weeks, just in time for Christmas! I was pleasantly surprised to find a diffuser packed in the shipping container, kinda thrown in as an afterthought. Somebody over there must be following these threads and is paying attention! (FWIW, I used the 430 EX so little over the course of the 2 or so years I owned it, I didnt realize it had a pull out diffuser as well until my daughter in law tried it on Christmas eve!)

watt100- Right, I meant a sto-fen diffuser. Didn't know what it was called, haha
It would have been nice to have one though

Order it today and it should be here by Thursday. I ordered mine on Wednesday and got it Saturday

Dang i should of gotten it from them! I got it directly from YN i gotta wait a week or two before it arrives!

After using the YN-468 at my cousins house on Christmas, I experienced one minor problem.

If I shot continously, the flash would go off on the first shot, and not for the second, resulting in one picture I liked and then the rest insanely dark. My uncle's 580 EXII was shooting constantly and this didn't happen to him

Is this because it's only $90? or can I change some setting?

The main supplier is turning out to be a real pain shipment wise. I have ordered and payed for my product the 13th of December, but still no sign of it yet. The supplier indicated that it was shipped without giving me any information or tracking numbers. Really getting frustrated at this point.
