Very nice. I can`t stand most built in flash on cameras. A flash like yours, where you can bounce the light, yields much more natural looking photos.

Looks like it does a good job. I have to get a new camera and learn how to use it, lol. My old coolpix doesnt get the job done. Those really bright pics, is that the sun or the flash?

A suggestion, if I may - don`t aim the flash directly at the subject - take advantage of the ability to direct the flash, and bounce the light against the roof. It`ll look more natural and produce more even light :)

Thanks I will try that!

The car came out great!!

One thing I found helped my flash photography is a simple plastic diffuser. The are molded plastic and ship right on the flash head.

This link will give you an example of the one I use.

You can`t go wrong with the Canon T3i. It`s an excellent camera. The car looks nice too.
