Expensive
This Canon 550EX E-TTL Flashgun is excellent. Fires a pre-burst of flash to set shutter speed correctly and stores this in flash. Flash intensity is totaly controlable and can be raised or lowered in power by several stops. Also has diffuser for wide angle close up work. This has the bonus of putting lovely catchlights in subjects eyes making portraits seem very lively.
Flash also has head that can be adjusted upwards by 95 degrees and can rotate 360 degrees to avoid direct flash. Can also be fired by remote using remote module STB-2 (Can control 3 Flashes)
