When you bounce it...External flash is your friend! When you bounce it off a wall or ceiling, you are basically creating a bigger light source out of said wall or ceiling. Kind of like you added a big softbox to that wall. You can bounce it to a wall on your side and get a whole different lighting system going. While chasing my kids around the house, I usually aim it behind me where the wall meets the ceiling and that brightens up the whole room and gives a nice catchlight. Have you tried dragging your shutter? When you figure that out, you will love your flash even more!

I'm hoping to pick up the 430EX II for Christmas so I can get back to flash photography.

I think I now have a lovely sinus infection. UGH! <br /><br />You know I'm dreaming of the 5D too and might invest in it by the spring time.
