I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea. I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates: SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50 SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30 SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30 That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

Did anybody ever let you know (or did you get the Fuji to find out) how quickly it will take a photo? I have a Canon and want to go with a smaller, less expensive, more durable model/make - but I need instant images.

I think it was a freak event. I received mine in perfect condition and love the camera. I take it everywhere I go because it's compact and takes great shots.

I sell both of these cameras at the store in which I work. I typically recommend the canon. We see many more Sony cameras come back with 'weird' problems... (we see NO canons coming back with any kind of problems... ok fine, two canon cameras in the two years I've been there). Also sony cameras try to hard to provide sharpness and clarity and sometimes leave odd marks on the images visible at high magnifications.

It could be the camera is triggering the flash, which is possible for Canon. Check the flash setting and make sure it's not set to trigger the flash.

my husband and I have been doing professional event photography for almost a year and have had no problems. I recommend the Flash Pro series for faster photo times. Besides that, I've really had no issue with the 1 slot. But ultimately it's your decision.

Well, I downloaded a new driver, and that solved the 6c10 error message -- for a week or so. And now it's back again. And now my older Canon pixma 3000 has a similar error message. So I have two Canon printers taking up space. Does anyone make a decent, reliable printer? Canon has been absolutely of no help.

I may not be the best person to ask about that as I haven't attempted any flash photography until just now (months after purchase). There is a flash symbol on the d-pad and the same symbol on the side of the camera where a pop-up flash comes out, but I was unable to get the flash to work at all using either of these buttons...

If you download your photos once a week a 4GB card should be more than you will ever need. I only have a 4GB (class 6) card in my Canon XSi and it's more than adequate.

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

Yes ... this is a great camera! Also, you might want to download the full owners manual. It was difficult to find, at first, but I did find it on Canon's international site and simply downloaded the English version. Everything you want to know about the camera is there!

Hi I have the Canon XSI and its a terrific camera. I am thinking of getting the Powershot S1 IS because of its 20X zoom which is equivalent to 560mm. I like the fact that I don't have to change lenses and that it has image stabilization at the 20X zoom. If you are an ameteur to semi-professional photographer then the S1 IS is the way to go. With the XSI I have to keep chainging lenses and when I use my 300mm lens I no longer have Image Stabilization. It does require carrying extra lenses which can be a pain when traveling. I like the fact that the S1 IS has a better sensor and records HD movies. If I did not have the XSI I would definitely buy the S1 IS. Like I said I am stronlgly considering buying the new S1 IS. Hope this info helps.

I am in the same boat, XSi or D90. Right now, I am leaning towards the Xsi, for around $650 at Amazon, this is a big savings, the camera was $900 in April. I would like the video option, and I believe that the Nikon will provide better detail in low light. However, I still am having a hard time justifying the extra, almost $600. I could almost buy another Xsi for that difference. I am not sure that the price difference is justified.

M. Medina, so sorry to hear of your xsi having an error 99. It is my understanding that error 99 is a fatal error with multiple causes. One suggestion I have read was to take the battery out for at least 5 mins and the restart the camera. If this doesn't reboot the camera then it is probably a fatal error. In my personal experience my error 99 was because of my shutter leaflets getting out of alignment. To see if this is your issue take your Lens off and VERY gently lift the mirror-DO NOT FORCE IT UP IF IT WONT MOVE - once u lift the mirror U will see the shutter leafs, they should be layered and lying flat. If they are not flat and even that is the cause of your Error 99. U MAY be able to flick them back into alignment, but be Very Very gentle as not to bend then. If your shutter is bad good luck in getting it proffessionally fixed. I was unable to fix mine for a reasonable price. I am purchasing a new camera as you read this. I hope this helps and I wish you the best if luck.

Bad news about the flash - I just checked out the User Guide for the SX210IS on Canon's website and it mentions that the flash will automatically pop up when you power on the camera in any mode :(Check out page #24 here:http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0300003224/01/PSSX210IS_CUG_EN.pdf

The FZ28 is a really nice camera -- arguably slightly better than the Canon on image quality and IS and almost certainly better on the UI, where Canon just does a terrible job in some ways. (Who came up with the rotating wheel on the SX10? It drives me crazy every time I have to use it.)The make-or-break feature for me, though, and the reason I went with the Canon, is that the Lumix lacks a hotshoe for external flash. A good off-camera flash gives you so much more versatility in what, when, and how you shoot.
