Stick with Canon flashes for best compatibility. Since you didn’t state what kind of photography you’re wanting to do, and assuming you want an on-camera hot-shoe flash for casual shooting as opposed to studio strobes, I’d recommend the Canon 430EX. It supports E-TTL II and can talk properly with your camera.
Most off-brand flashes require a hot-shoe adapter that only allows you to shoot on manual flash. The 430EX supports Canon’s optical slave triggering, but can only be a slave. If you want to move up to a larger flash, you can get the Canon 580EX II flash.It has many more features (manual mode, wireless master, etc. ), but most wouldn’t be used by a casual photog.
I’d look at either B&H Photo (bhphotovideo.com), Adorama (http://www.adorama.com), or Samy’s (http://www.samys.com). I’ve dealt with all three, and they’re great. There are others I haven’t dealt with that are good.
NOTE: If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is! Check all retailers at http://www.resellerratings.com to make sure they’re legit! There are several camera "vendors" based in Brooklyn that are bait-and-switch houses, so beware!
Another option is to get a used flash, maybe a slightly older version like the 420EX, 550EX, or 580EX (first model). You can find them for sale at several online forums like Fred Miranda (http://www.fredmiranda.com) or DGrin (http://www.dgrin.com). You can find 420EXs for around $150 or less now.
Sometimes it's a good idea to get an older flash for less money to try things out; perhaps you don't like flash photography, or you find you don't use flash very often. Another nice thing about getting an older 420EX is that if you decide to move up to a 550/580, the 420 can be used as a second strobe in slave mode, opening up lots of two-light setups! If you want to get fancier, there are Metz flashes that are very good.
You’ll also want to get a battery pack like the Al Jacob’s Tuxedo or similar. You can spend $$$$+ on lenses for your camera; you can also spend $$$$+ on lighting as well! Sources: Experience as a photographer.

You get what you pay for...to a point. A lot depends on your budget, the kind of photography you do, and the features you want. The best choice in terms of compatibility is, of course, the Canon brand flash units.
They are high quality, work seamlessly, but leave a pretty large whole in your wallet $$. On the other end of the spectrum are the budget flashes which are supposed to be compatible, but often aren't. I bought a Sunpak 5000AF for a great price, but was greatly disappointed when I found that many features simply did not work.It works OK as a slave, however, which is what kept me from throwing in the trash.
If you can't afford a Canon flash, I will tell you that I've been very pleased with the Sigma EF-500 DG Super. It's middle of the road in terms of cost, very compatible with the Canon Digital XT, has all the features I need, and produces some great results.

Canon 430EX... It's a little pricey, but I've been very happy with mine. You could also go hogwild and get the new 580EX II, but at more than $400, I thought that was a little much.

Theres probably a few but... I have been using the Canon Speedlite 430EX and have been very pleased. Here is a review: dpreview.com/news/0508/05082206canon430e... Also a lot depends on what your going to use the flash for. For certain projects you may want to consider a ring flash such as the Sigma EM-140.It's nice especially if your trying to avoid shadow for whatever reason.
I'm thinking of buying it for my daughter for Christmas. Can you give me a little review?
Which is better Canon EOS 30D or Canon XTi Rebel 10.1 Megapixel.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
