Most of my "problem" arises when I look at the price tags. Can I expect double the performance with the 550EX - it costs twice as much as the 420EX. My D30 owners manual recommends (only) the 550EX for best results. What differences are there that I should consider?
Besides price that is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- If it will be your sole flash and you will use it on the camera buy the 420EX. If you plan to use the flash with others for lighting ratios and/or expect to use it with an outboard power source like a Quantum Turbo Battery, go for the 550EX. Aside that there is about 1 stop more lighting power with the 550EX compared to the 420EX.
