PJ, you're right. There is a bounce version and an older non-bounce. Though the bounce feature is kinda funny to me as I don't remember it having enough power to bounce off the ceiling!
I would almost go for the 2400 except that I want the auto modes on the 2000. But you're right about it being handy too. It was the first flash I ever bought. Quickly bought something bigger for more power. But it saved my butt a couple times. I put the "something bigger" on a light stand one day shooting sports portraits and it got blown over by the wind and broke the hotshoe. Even after I quit using it, I usually kept it with me it was so small and light. Very handy. On Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 4:22 PM, P. J.
