[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 320006, member: 12496"] The YN565EX would be a really good choice, yet very inexpensive. It will do both manual flash, and automatic TTL flash. Are you aware the three lights you mentioned are all only manual flash mode? Manual mode means it is YOU that must set the correct power level on the flash before each exposure. How do you do that? One common way is trial and error, by taking multiple pictures with varying settings to find one that gives a good picture (judged on the rear LCD). Or using a hand held flash meter is another way. But this Manual mode is the farthest thing from automatic point&shoot flash (like compact cameras do). The manual flash results are NOT automatic, but instead are entirely up to your efforts.
