sunpak powerzoom pz4ox II flash?

Question

I was thinking of getting a 430EX for my canon rebel K2, but when I found out it cost $400, which is way out of my price range, I started looking elsewhere. I was reading freestyle, and I saw the sunpak powerzoom pz4ox II flash, and I thought it might be better for me on my budget.

I'm not a very serious photographer. I don't have 12 cameras, a five-thousand dollar studio and a darkroom. I have a very tight budget, and all I want to get out of a flash is to be able to have a more powerful one than my built in one and to be able to rotate it and bounce it off a wall so the lighting isn't so harsh. Not to say I want the worst one there is, I was just wondering if the sunpak powerzoom might be better for me, or if there's even better flash units out there.

All ideas will be considered

Answer 1

Buy it.

Its TTL compatible with your Canon.

Buy an off-camera flash bracket next.

Your camera has multiple exposure capability - up to 9 exposures per frame. Visit AIRC-Adorama Imaging Resource Center and click on SFX Photography.
