I already decided for a G6.
Now I am in doubt between the two flashes above.
I know the right one to compare with the Sigma would be the 550DX or
the 580DX but I excluded them for the price.
The 420DX is Canon branded, affordable, but lacks flexibility as
compared to the Sigma.
I feel inclined toward the higher power of the Sigma and plenty of
manual settings.
On the other hand I have a doubt: could it be too powerful for portrait
picture?(or any kind of close to subject picture)
I can remember, back in the fifties, whem my father bought a wonderful
pre-pro Braun flash. It was so powerful that family photos looked like
washed by light. A very bad outcome.
Is this a non-issue nowadays ? (with the auto ttl metering)
Thanks in advance for your valuable support.
