Is it worth paying extra for a genuine Canon Speedlite?
Hello everyone,
I’m just looking at speedlite flashes on ebay right now to get for my rebel… and I’ve noticed a whole lot of considerably cheaper generic brand versions that look pretty much the same.
I’m considering getting a bounce/swivel head one which will cost about $200 less than the real canon basic one.
Before I do, can anyone tell me if there’s anything I’ll be missing out on? I’ve had NO experience with flashes and am really hoping one of you has, to ‘shed some light’ on my dillemma (couldn’t help myself).
Any help will be realy reeealy appreciated.
Cheers 
Thanks for the advice, although I paid next to nothing for my rebel (as far as DSLR’s go) and I LOVE IT! Just as much as my mates far more expensive versions anyway.
A basic fact of life I have learned over the last 55+ years is this < YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
