Do I really need to spend money on a £150 Speedlite flash, as I see on the club photography sites like tillate, some people just use the kit, pop-up flashes on the camera and the pictures are clear and not grainy. e.g. can anyone identify this Sony camera please?

Can I use Auto Focus in a night club? I know I won't look like a pro, but just untill I get use to the surroundings. As I can see it will be a bit fiddly trying to get groups of people together and in focus manually.

Thanks for the info. Appart from the price what is the difference between the 350D and 400D? I'll use all of those settings on my first night out shooting. I was thinking of joining tillate. I don't like the look of the Canon G9, i won't look like a cool pro without a dslr! :p

I've been told not to direct the flash at people otherwise you will blind them, but to bounce the flash. How do I do that? Would a diffuser help, lighten the flash directed at people?

What is a kit lens? The Speedlite 430ex costs £150 :eek:

So with a 50mm f1.8 lens, I'll only get head shots? What lens should I get then, or should I get 2 lenses?

Would something like this do? Does it need a seperate flash? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CANON-REBEL-XT-EOS-350D-CAMERA-LENS-4GB-6-BONUS-SLV_W0QQitemZ110288715464QQcmdZ

I want to do nightclub photography. I've taken photos with a normal digital camera in a night club before, but the pictures don't come out clear. So I would like to get a digital SLR, preferbly Sony or Canon. I've got £350 to spend on equipment, so will probably check out eBay for some second...
