Hey,

I was looking into buying in external flash for my Canon Rebel T1i and was wondering if the Canon - Speedlite 600EX-RT External Flash was compatable or what everyone else recomends.  Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I say.... YES, get the 600ex if can afford it.

I use the Nikon version, but flagship flashes give you

• added power for bounce lighting, diffusers, or light modifiers
• servo's that can change/focus the light pattern for zoom lenses
• more drop resistant than regular lenses
• ability to plug in external batteries for quicker recycling

The only time when I won't use a high-end flash... is when I need added power of a "barebulb" like my Quantum Trio.
