I'm considering bying a flash for my *istD. Which one is best of the 500 and the 360? It seems to me that both have functions that the other do not. Which functions are more useful, and which functions are less important?
Advantages of the AF 500 FTZ * more powerful (higher GN) * possible to turn in two directions * faster flash time * can be used as slave Advantages of the AF 360 FGZ * P-TTL * wireless TTL * can zoom out more * EV compensation * automatic mode (does the 500 really lack this???) * contrast control with 4 units (2 more than the 500) * lighter The 500 cost more but I can get it used at the same cost as a new 360, so price is not (that) important. anders ------------------------- http://anders.hultman.nu/ med dagens bild och allt!
