+1. Unless you want something more feature filled like 580EXII or it's somewhat cheaper equivalent Nissin 866MkII.

Hi Lightwave, I thought the 580exII was discontinued and not available anymore?

I have used neither (but I use the 430ex), but looks to me like both are quite good. The 320 may start feeling underpowered if you get into bouncing the flash.

??Sorry I don't understand! :o
