I'll be taking my 550D with the twin lens kit, ill be taking a lot of landscape, wedding and general photos.

I'm looking into flashes, because at the wedding that ill be attending there is going to be a lot of activity at night on the street and I only have the inbuilt flash.

Ive got my eye on the Canon Speedlite 270EX just wondering if there is a better flash for my camera for under $250

Also is there lenses that people reckon i should have other then the twin lens kit?? ive got a budget of $300 for the lens

When I went to Turkey with my 450D and kit lens (and 50mm f1.8), I only used my 18-55mm kit lens and 50mm prime (when I was bothered) for the 2 months I was there.

I have a Yongnuo brand flash (cant remember which model) and been very happy with it. i think its the yongnuo 467. Got it off ebay for around 100 iirc.

Have a crack at B&H, it's an american store and with the current exchange rate and their generally lower cost of stuff it's amazingly cheap

Has anyone tried the 550 battery grip and 2000mah batteries from DX? I'm thinking about purchasing these items from there, also looking at getting a wired switch for long exposure shots.

Also looking into getting the gorillapod, is it worth getting the head for an extra $40-50?

One more thing, has anyone found any guides/tips for the 550d, taking pics and filming?
