Question: What does an external flash do for a camera?
I finally made the jump from pocket point-and-shoot to a "bridge" super zoom Canon Powershot SX10IS. Having a nice camera has me more interested in photography than ever before.
That being said, what does an external flash add that the built-in flash can't do? Will this make indoor pics even better? Are they hard to figure out how to balance (or whatever you call it... adjust)? Are they a worthy addition to a novice photographer such as myself?
Answer: An external flash such as 430EX is much more powerful than the build in flash. The build in flash is close to the lens axis and therefore you are likely to get a pictures with peoples in red eyes. Also people's faces look flat because there is no shadow.
With an external flash, you can mount it on top of the camera or use a flash bracket with a off-camera cord. You can bounce it or even use it with a small softbox. It opens a lot more options.
Another excellent place to find External Flash is on Amazon... They have way more than just books!

Question: How will an external flash improve my pictures on my DSLR?
I own a Canon 40D and i love take pictures and love learning about Photography.
I'm thinking about buying an external flash, mabe the Canon 580 exii and i'm wondering how much benefit and what difference an external Flash would make to a picture that was taken with the same same settings with it's built in flash.Answer: If you simply put it on your camera and shoot away, it will help very little, as the previous posted said. If you take time to really learn how to use it, you can vastly improve your portraits both indoors and outdoors. Read "On-Camera Flash" by Neil van Niekerk and you will be amazed at the results you can get when the available light is not sufficient. You can see his articles on flash techniques here:

Question: How much time have you wasted studying photography and light?
Really you know its a total waste of time dont you? There are people buy a dslr and are professionals because they have a dslr.
You do know all that is needed to construct sets and set up and use studio flash units is a new dslr dont you?
Answer: I know. I know. All the time I spent. The thousands of dollars down the toilet. All my studio gear. For what? Nothing!
Thanks for posting this, and sending me into a downward spiral of depression. I believe I will go get a box of wine and some Rolaids, and get in bed.
Thanks again, you really can cheer a guy up. I could have had a life.......

Question: How is this light the picture will work?So I'm somewhat new to photography. How is this light going to work? Is it just plug / insert the batteries and ready? O has to be attached to my camera? Here's the link: Please http://cart.owens-originals.com/VU-PRO-COOL-V-FLUORESCENT-PHOTOGRAPHY-LIGHTING-KIT-p/cool5.htm get rude. Any help is greatly appreciated
Answer: These are running lights. This means they are "on" when is compose the shot and the camera meter will recognize the correct exposure. Nothing special for you to make the camera is concerned. Note that the word "professional" is pulled back and in advertising. These can be decent enough for your purposes, but not what you would find if you took a photo studio.
