Speedlite 270ex Ii
Canon Speedlite for under $200?
I’ll probably be looking at Craiglist to find this type of deal.
What’s a good flash speedlite for a Canon XSi with Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8?
270EX or II or the 320EX any good?
I would be using flash for outdoor use and indoor.
The 270EX is little better than the pop-up built in flash. It has a limited tilt head for bounce but the gun just isn’t powerful enough – it is very small though so pretty good for fill-in lighting.
320EX? Don’t think is is one of those!
380EX now obsolete but plenty available on Ebay for sub $100 – head tilts but doesn’t swivel. I had one of these and it was very good but I wanted swivel – sold on Ebay for what I paid GBP80
420EX – also obsolete but head tilts and swivels – bought used off Ebay to replace the 380EX – fantastic unit. I paid GBP100 for this (about $130)

What would be a good external flash to start with?
I have a canon 60D that I bought for myself this past June and now I and hoping to get external flashes, reflectors, light stands, etc, etc…
On the subject of cameras, well, I never take my camera of Manual setting so I am good with that, but What is the difference between these two flashes and why is one so much more expensive than the other? Is one more powerful? Does the shape of the flash effect the photo?

I don’t have a budget right now I just want to get an idea of what is out there( I am only 15, I am hoping for a nice Christmas present this year 
Thanks so much
A 580 packs a hefty punch. A 270 is only about double the power of your popup flash.
Biggest difference is that a 580′s head can tilt and rotate. A 270 only tilts which makes it impossible to flash indirectly in portrait orientation.
A 430 is a good first flash, bit more affordable too.
