Flash for Digital Rebel Which flash would be better suited for me if I want to take close-ups and portrait photos ... Canon or Promaster? Thank you, Bruce.

Bruce: Are you are absolutely certain that the Promaster flash is 100% compatible with your camera's high-tech features? A flash unit that's "dedicated for Canon" may be fine for a 35mm camera but not necessarily fully compatible with a digital SLR. An EX series Canon flash unit is fully compatible. Then there's the issue of how to use flash to take close-ups and portraits. That's a more complex issue. One suggestion: use off-camera flash. To do so, you would need a cable that runs from the hot shoe to the off-camera flash unit. Then, you could hold the flash unit where it is most appropriate: above and to the side of the subject, perhaps. Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2 60cm (2ft.), TTL Off-Camera Flash Cable. ($50.)

Hi Bruce... I have the digital rebel and have the Canon 420 EX flash. I also enjoy portrait & non-macro close up work and it's been great! A good investment for sure.
