Need flash for Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

Hi everyone,
May I have some advise on buying a flash for a Canon PowerShot SX1 IS please.
Which flash would be useful and not too expensive?
Thanks in advance for all help!

I use the Speedlite 270EX on my SX1 and it's worked well.

I agree with John. With my SX1IS I used a 420EX, worked very well and has the added bonus of swivel and tilt.

These Canon Speedlites are superceded now and v cheap second hand on the markets.

cheers, you'll love that extra light...Dave S
