Well, I've been thinking about buying myself a bigger flash for a while now. The other day while I was in London Drugs I saw that the exact one that I had been looking at was on SALE!!! So since I was waiting for a picture to get printed and didn't have anything else to do while I waited I thought about it long and hard. I finally decided that I was going to bite the bullet and get it! One disadvantage is that it makes your camera even heavier :( But I love having the bigger flash for events when you need it!
