I just purchased a Canon A620 and was wondering if anyone could direct me to a reasonably priced slave flash to work with it? So far this is an Incredible camera for my use.
Thanks, Bob K

I think you can use just about anything you wanted to. I found an old one cheap on e-bay that is designed for olde 35mm SLR cameras. Then i found a slave flash trigger that the flash sits on and when your onboard camera flash fires this triggers the slave flash. Its on e-bay and its called a flash trigger. It has this hotshoe thing the flash slips in.

You can get regular slave flash that already have the sensor built in but they seem kinda high priced. I got mine in an older 35mm camera lot for $10. and it came with some other random stuff. the trigger was a little bit but i figured i could use it with any flash so thats why i decided to get it. I may find somthing that has a few more advanced settings and stuff on it and i could still use it with this trigger.

Mine is called a canolite-D
