Ohhh yea i'm in the same situation. I would buy a DSLR and a 10.5 or similar but the lense will cost more than my current camera (S5600).
Try to stick with .25X or .3X as anything else doesn't give the same angle of view.
Does the S6500 have a hotshoe because if so i would recommend some PT-04 slaves or similar and get a decent lighting setup first because things will still look shit if the light sucks.

Oh And Why would a powerfuller flash be needed if day shooting has good lighting already? :confused:

Because the flash lets you separate the rider from the background. haha basically it lets you make a much more eye catching shot. Could you send me the link for the optical slave. I'm guessing you bought it off ebay. Also what flash u using for the remote one?
