Speedlight YN-460

I haven't got hundreds to spend on one so was looking for a flashgun that's cheap, cheerful, and does the job.

Does anyone own a Speedlight YN-460?
Any good?
Will it just work straight onto my Canon 550D?

Speedlight YN-460 mk2 >>> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Electronic-S...8247594&sr=8-8


or what does anyone recommend?

Re: Speedlight YN-460

Ok, thanks both. It looks like after reading reviews I am going to have to save the pennies.

Looks like a 430EX is going for around 150+ on ebay ken. I'm out of things to sell so will have to wait and save.
