Hello, new to this group, but enjoy photography often. I'm looking to buy a
flash for my Canon Digital Rebel XT. The two I'm looking at are the Sigma
EF 530 DG ST and the Metz Mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital. I'm trying to keep the
price around or under $200.

Will these flashes run on my camera just like the Canon flashes? Any other
comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I guess I posted this to the wrong group. Could someone tell me which
newsgroup to post a question about equipment?
