Off camera flash (1 Viewer)

[sarah]

Will be purchasing an off camera flash probably one of the metz family not sure which one yet something that has a swivel head. (not getting a dedicated one for my fuji finepix as I'm upgrading to canon later on).


Find all terminology very confusing? I do so here's a deadly sitehttp://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/02/welcome-to-strobist.html

and a vid I found helpful (snoot? flag? cookie? now I know what they are )

any other good all rounder flash recommendations gladly accepted.

If you're upgrading to Canon, then I wouldnt spend too much on a flash for your fuji, as the dedicated Canon (and Nikon) ones are great - and you can them ultra cheap of ebay from dealers like URGalaxy and Kea....
