extra flash: Does anyone know of a small flash that can be attached to TX1 for shooting inside and in lower light and is easy to carry around?

I would use any small flash and het a slave unit that attaches to the hotshoe end of the flash. Basically sensing the TX1's flash, it fires the other flash as a slave.

I would definitely not get this. The light output will be similar to your built-in flash, but without the biggest benefits of having a hot shoe flash, like being able to change the angle of the flash. Save up and get the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The only reason I got the 90ex is because it is tiny and can be carried in a pocket easily in case the need arises to use on my 5d Mark iii which does not have a built in flash.

Harvey: sorry I'm slow--been out of town that past 6 days. My G15 small guide book shows on p. 31 the following: High power flash HF-DC2 Speedlite 600EX-RT, 600EX, 580EX II, 430EX-II, 320EX, 270EX II. It also shows a complex-looking Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX I'm sure these are Canon products. I've been quite happy with the camera's on-board flash. Cheers, George

Very good in low light situations - rarely have to use the flash indoors-eh!!

I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea. I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates: SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50 SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30 SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30 That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

There is no built in flash on the Nikon V1 - the external flash sb-n5/n7 are available as independent items. They add immense opportunities. The V1 already has fast auto focus, and with the added sb-n5, capturing fast action (i.e. kids, etc.) has never been easier. The V1 fits in the pocket; the D3200 does not.

I pulled the trigger and purchased the SD780 and I'm very, very pleased. It *is* small so you have to adjust how you use the buttons a bit, but overall, the positives of the size outweigh the negatives. It is a *big* plus for me to be able to use an existing camera case and two spare batteries. The low light pictures I'm taking are amazing - the flash brightens a pitch black living room corner into daylight from about 10 feet. Nighttime pictures outside are very pleasing - this camera sucks in whatever light it can find and uses it. :)

I'd go with the 430 EX, not the new one. I bought one about 6 months ago and I think it recycles fats enough, but I guess that depends on what you're taking pictures of. I don't tend to burst in photo's I need a flash for. I got the remote for it, which works great and I can get in the picture or better yet, keep the camera for moving on the tripod for night photo's.

don't use flash if I can help it, I like available light when I can. Olympus lights are a little high.

THE OM-D E-10 has a built in flash. In my opinion any flash you could get for under $100 would avail you little improvement over the one you already have. If you can find a used Nissan or Olympus you might do alright.

I think I'd go for the Canon 430EX II instead for $250 -- much more power and you can bounce the flash in either landscape or portrait orientation.

Yes! Awesome low-light w/o flash pictures, best I've seen on a point/shoot cam.

Nikon 1 J1 comes with a powerful, small flash attached to it. I do not use it too much because it is too strong for close-up. If you get Nikon 1 V1 more expensive later version, it does not have Flash.Good luck

Yes. You might want to take a look and considert the new canon flash 600 that works as a master and a Radio control and can conttol al canon flashs as slaves

Thanks for the response. Have you tried recording a movie in low light?What type of Cannon are you a fan of? I'm looking for something to take good action pics at gymnastics meets and to record some movies of routines as well.

I have only used the built in flash, which is fine for normal pictures. But, in trying to take pictures at our club dances, I have found it does not reach out very far. I would like to know what kind of additional flash to get also.
