A little too broke to buy the external flash now..... :cry:
While I'm here, what's the diff between an external flash and a speedlight?

imaginery_number is looking for one to use with the S602Z right? There're no dedicated flash avaliable as the camera only supports a standard trigger.
Suntax and Acheiver produce some cheap auto flash that could be used.
Vivitar 285HV (~$145) is one of the more popular ones here.
I'm personally using a Metz 32 Z-1 with the S602Z.

What's the advantage of the Vivitar 285HV over the "cheap auto flash" you mentioned?
Does a cheap flash mean that it (1) not as reliable? or (2) doesn't perform well?

There is a difference in performance. Reliability I'm not so sure.
You get what you pay for. For usual situations, you probably don't need a very powerful flash like Vivitar 285HV.
