I read on camera flash as onboard flash. There are tons of options to diffuse a 430EX II. My omni-bounce was $10 and plan on more stuff like that.
I meant speedlight - I should have quoted the suggestion to get one since that's what I was thinking about when I posted.
The promax is much more functional than the gary fong bowl thing - not least of which because it actually attempts to control the light direction. and it works differently in different configurations. Ideally, you want to keep the light off the camera, but that's not always practical (especially with Canon, lol).

that reminds me, i need to spend ~lunch money on a set of decent gels. I just hate ordering stuff around the holidays because of all the extra time it takes to get here
Get the cheap sampler platter.

And Honl and Lumiquest both make decent gel holders. I just use the one that came with my SB-900 for now, but I keep planning to get one for the SB-600

Ha, I was just on that website the other day. The headquarters for that company is in the next town over from here.
sell it all and go pentax!
I like this guy! 
The weather sealing is worth shit unless you're using weather-proofed lenses, which no one here uses anyway.
Like all Pentax DSLR bodies, mine is weather resistant and so are both of my lenses...
SMC PENTAX DA 50-200MM F4-5.6 ED WR
SMC PENTAX DA 18-55MM F3.5-5.6 AL WR

We were talking about Canon bodies and lenses in this thread. Good for Pentax.
I'm (still) acutely aware that Joe has a few real weather proofed lenses. Almost bought one of them instead of my 135L.
