External Flash Photography with the Canon EOS 20D
Every article I read about the EOS 20D talks about how great the flash is. I'm not much of a photographer, but I can tell you this much. Don't believe it. The flash on the EOS 20D sucks. It's harsh. It's too low, so you get red eyes. And, it isn't bright enough. So, aside from the fact that it sucks, I guess they're right. So, I'm trying to figure out what type of external flash to get. I found this article very enlightening. (Pun intended).
Apparently, I want a flash that supports E-TTL II(Evaluative Through The Lens - Type II) flash metering.
They seem to recommend the Canon Speedlite 580EX($360), However, they also mention that Sigma makes a good flash for about half the price of Canon's flashes: Sigma EF 500 DG Super($150) and the Sigma EF 500 DG ST($200).
This website compares the Sigma EF 500 DG Super to the Canon Speedlite 580EX. Basically, they say that the Canon is better.
