I've agreed to do the photography at my brothers wedding and i'm therefore going to need a flash unit. Can anyone reccommend which one to go for.
Ideally under £100 second hand.

I've got a canon EOS 20d. I was thinking about the speedlight 550 ex? Seems to be middle of the road, decent power and good features.

Any other options reccomended?
 
i use a 580Ex but you'll struggle (infact find it pretty much impossible) to find one in your budget, however the canon 430EX is also a cracking and capable flashgun and can be found new for just over your budget (kerso has 2 for sale at £159 each.

you may be able to find a second hand 550ex for that price but you'll be very lucky.

maybe look at the sigma models...
 
Second the 430EX, unless you are shooting at a distance it will cope with a wedding shoot, also great for fill flash.
