ETTL Camera Flash for Canon 500D

[LizzieVV]

Hi,

I am trying to find a cheap / second hand ETTL camera flash for my Canon EOS 500D..
I cant access the classified section as yet so just wondered if anyone would have an idea...
Also, a good, light weight tripod?

Thanks

Liz

How much do you want to spend? I recently bought a second hand Jessops 360AFD flash for less than £40incl postage. It has a swivel head (for bouncing off ceilings and walls) and TTL mode. I'd recommend it for basic shooting.

Can get a Yongnuo YN648 new off ebay for about £60, build quality isn't anything to shout about but it does do the job.

Excellent thanks, probably looking at second hand at the minute.. Just a nebie with the 500D...

Thanks Dave, I will have a look on Jessops website..

In regards to tripods, would a 64" be better for my 500D?

Where on the Jessop site is the second hand section?

Sorry I bought it off here, but you can also find them on ebay and other second hand sites.

If not check out the Nissin Di 620, a cracking gun for the money and will double up as a slave later if you get a better gun.

Jessops haven't sold used goods for a number of years now!
