new to "strobist" do i have a good camera to get into this?

430s power just didn't do it

The 580 is only moderatley more powerful than the 430. If you need to overpower the sun I'd consider a 1600 watt studio strobe. The Hot-Shoe flashes are around 200 watts. The 430 will do just fine in a studio setting.

I haven't weighed in this week because I've been putting in 14-15 hour days at the office (everything should be back to normal next week). What I would have suggested has already been said (check out my Intro to Strobism!). It's nice to know I have a legacy to look back on when I'm old and grey.. ;-)

Question: Should I create a general purchase list of items that a strobist might purchase at 1) Budget/Entry, 2) Advanced Hobbyist, and 3) Professional level?

I, for one, would like to see such a thing.

I'll try to put something together in the next week.
