can the flash power output be lower using the Flash compensation setting?

I am a newbee, currently using Canon 1000D. looking for an external flash as the built in flash cannot be tilted. Normally picture taken with built in flash have shiny face and dark background. Is the Nissin Di622 good, so far no review in the forum for this flash.

The 1st pic looks great, got abit retro style. don't think you're using large aperture as the DOF is quite deep. for night shot without flash, i up up the ISO to 800. The 3rd pic, maybe cut away the top half will look better.

Yup, They explain the reason to me. It is meant for those people who wanted to repair their spoilt Canon camera but the repair cost is too much. (Beyond economical repair) therefore Canon give special discount for purchase of new camera for this particular group of people. That's why it's...

got it, like the 50mm F1.8 lens.

just place a reserve for the Canon 1000D from the buy back program. Waiting for the stock to arrived.

From reading this thread, i came to know of Canon buy back program, able to buy the 1000D at $794 instead of the $999 from HN or BD. Tried the 3 entry level camera at Courts, Canon 1000D, Sony A330 and Nikon D3000. i would say Nikon has the best grip for me, while Sony can only grip with 2-3...
