Swivel Flash for Powershot G7

[RobEavis]

Hi guys, first post!

I've just purchased a Canon G7 and I'm after a flash gun to suit. Most importantly I'd like it to take advantage of the E-TTL function and be able to swivel horizontally as well as vertically. However, i don't want anything too big and heavy that will be out of proprtion with the compact camera.

Now i haven't seen any of the Speedlites in the flesh, so i don't know for sure, but all the ones with a horizontal swivel look too big. Do any other brands make something suitable?

Cheers,

I think you'lll have the same size disagreement with Sigma and Metz.

I would seriously consider going out and looking at a Speedlite 430ex and take your camera with you to give it a try. I'm sure it wouldn't look too big on a G7. Would it?

Of course there's also Sunpak. I'd forgotten about them. Here's a link to one from a store local to me.

Cheers for you reply Irratible Rabbit. Yer, i think i'll go and check it out at my local shop then, unless i find something else soon.

The sunpak PF30X doesn't swivel. Otherwise it would've been great!
