Canon 450d Flash advice needed please!

[kento]

Hello there,

I have a Canon 450d and i'd like to get my first proper flash. I'd like to be able to use it attached to my camera but also on a cord so i can point it where i want it, and for it to flash automatically.

I really am very clueless when it comes to flash and what is needed so i'd be very grateful for some advice please!

Thank you,
Helen x

With your camera I would recommend the Canon 430 EX II. This link will tell you the cheapest place to get it: http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod717.html
