Thank you all for the good advice. I think I want to make use of the TTL abilities, so a 430 is probably the way to go. I wonder however if the in camera flash is able to act as a master. It seems I read that in the specs for the 7d. If yes, that may be all I'll ever need with a 430 as a slave. I'll check the specs to see if it is true. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I'd seriously suggest you go for the biggest or rather most powerful flash you can afford (580 EX II IOW, in the Canon stable). Simply because illumination will be more even, and because you almost alwyas don't have enough light when you need it, especially if you want to use longer lenses too with a flash (I know I do <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />).
Kind regards, Wim
