I'm thinking of getting a strobe for my TG-7, but I'm on a budget. I'm looking for a strobe that would be good for wide-angle and semi-close-ups, and has TTL. The two best options for my budget seem to be the AOI Q1 RC and the Backscatter Mini-Flash 2. The AOI seems to be the cheaper option at first glance, but the Backscatter is cheaper when accounting for extra batteries. The Backscatter seems to be more suited for macro applications; I'm not sure if the AOI is better suited for wide-angle, though. Backscatter measures the AOI's strobe brightness to be at "guide number" F22, and I can't find anything about the Backscatter Mini-Flash's brightness. Does anyone have any suggestions on which I should get? Are there any other strobes I should consider?
