So it is Christmas time and in order to improve my indoor photography I want to get a speedlite for my 40D. At this point I have pretty much settled on the 430EX II. This will largely be for indoor portraits, think wedding receptions and family gatherings.
I know the specs, but I thought I better ask some smarter people than me what they think.
Is the 430EX worth the extra money over the 220EX? (James I obviously know you have some experience with the 220EX)
What have your experiences been with either flash?
Finally, does any one here use a diffuser? What type and how are the results?
