Is this any good?, can be got for around the £90 mark (less if you want to try a tax dodge company from HK it seems).
Looking to improve my indoor shots and everyone but everyone says that inbuilt flash sucks.
Advice wanted :)

Yep, I know loads of semi & pro togs who use this one.
the 400 isnt going to offer anything that your build-in flash cant do already
take a look at this > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YN-560EX-Y...item2a269b13e3
as a pro photographer, i'd never buy a SB-400 or use similar unless it was the last flash on earth..
Crikey is it that bad Bob ? What am I confusing it with then ?
Looks good Bob, thanks for the advice. I dont have paypal atm and try to avoid Ebay if i can, but will look around for that. I may have to succumb to the temptations of the bay tho.
A friend who is doing an HND course recommended Metz too, good deal more expensive tho.
Think this is the same on Amazon

Have you used a YN-560EX with your 7D Bob? I've been hankering after a new wireless TTL setup for some time but held off because I knew Yongnuo were releasing this.
my current portable flash set up is as follows
1 x YN-568EX (basically the same as the 560EX but allows HSS)
1 x Canon 580EX
1 x YN-560II (going to be ditching this by mid summer for another 568EX)
4 x YN-622C
this was using the 568EX in a softbox

no idea David, but i wouldn't waste my money on it..
Bought it, thanks for the help guys :)
Its a tad more complex than I would have thought :) I will get stuck into it over the summer holidays when I have a bit of time, learn how to use it properly. It does appear as though my camera (3100) is lacking some features in the remote deployment department.
On a side note, i took my camera to Helensburgh the other day, mainly to see how I got on with the 55-200mm lens.
shaky...
next time i take a tripod :)
couldn't believe how hard it was to keep it steady over a difference, was hoping for some shots of watercraft out in the estuary, it was not to be.
