Which portable flash system should I buy? I am looking to buy a professional quality, portable flash system, but am not sure what to get. How many watt seconds are good? Which brands are best? Which features are must haves? I will be using this for weddings primarily. I have a Canon Digital Rebel and 550EX flash. Thanks.

My system consists of EOS cameras, two 550EX and one 420EX flashes (I use 2 flashes most of the time and one for backup), and ST-E2 transmitter. In the future I will invest in a Compact Battery Pack CP-E2 for each of my flash. I use this system for wedding, portraits, location shot, everything. The whole system is light weight, wiereless and easy to set up. I use Omni bounce on the flash head and a couple of light stands for the other flashes. The flash comes with the mini stand for me to mount on the stand. And I can do a one man show with no problem because I don't have assistant. Hope this helps.

I have several cases of White Lightning strobes manufactured by Paul C Buff Inc. I do corporate annual reports and general commercial photography with them and can highly recommend them. If you are doing weddings, setup and tear down is an issue. these strobes are not to expensive and they also make the Alien Bee line.
