I recently purchased a Fuji FinePix 6900 digital camera. One of there reasons I chose this model was its SLR-style body and hot shoe for a real external flash since the built-in flashes are so weak and useless in many situations.

According to the Fuji manual, I can use any external flash that meets the following criteria:

Aperture can be set
External flash synch can be used
Sensitivity (ISO 100, 200 or 400 on this camera) can be set

This is my first foray into the world of really functional external flash units.

What would you recommend? The Quantaray QTB-7500A was suggested by a friend, but, it requires a dedicated flash module for Canon, Nikon, Minolta or Pentax. Would the Vivitar 283 or 285 be a good choice? other suggestions? As you can see, I don't know much about external flash units.

The camera has auto and manual focus and optical zoom from 35-210mm
