[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 793217, member: 46724"] [MENTION=13006]Camera Fun[/MENTION] AA batteries are easier to come by if your speedlight dies and you dont have a spare with you. The first hurdle you're going to have to jump is going from pop up flash to dedicated speedlight. If you think you might use a flash, you'll have to bring one with you. every. where. you. go. No biggie once you get used to it, but a major PITA getting used to it. The next hurdle is deciding on which brand to use. I dont suggest frankensteining a bunch of brands together, each brand has a different white and that can show up in your photos with the exception of Godox/Flashpoint. Godox can be bought from Amazon or B&H, Flashpoint is only offered through Adorama but everything is compatible/interchangeable; they're identical, only the name is different. I like the Godox/Flashpoint system, it is easy enough to start where you want and expand as you need. I have and recommend the Godox/Flashpoint V1 round head as a starting point. It also doubles as a transmitter so if you expand with some strobes at some point, (like I did with a couple of AD200's) you're covered. I like the round head because of the modifiers that are available for it plus I ended up getting the round heads for the AD200's too. I also have the MF12, (highly recommended if you're into macro work) that I mostly use with the R2 Pro transmitter, (instead of the speedlight as the transmitter) and everything works seamlessly together all at once or individually as needed.
