Nissin or Yongnuo

[magello]

Hey guys,

Having problem on deciding which one I should grab. I'm planning to grab 2 flashes and use one as a slave and the other as a on camera flash.

Which one would you advise for me to get? Any past experience with these flashes?

heya, i see you use a 50d as well.

i have a Nissin Di622, it's very simple to use and seems to work well, but cycle time is a bit slow at times. i haven't used it much 'off camera' but according to the manual it can.

Hey,

Thanks for the input. I've tried my mates Nissin flash aswel, unsure of which one. Seemed to work well, i was wondering if i can trigger a yong nuo with a nissan on camera flash.?

i have been able to trigger the nissin with the pop up flash on the 50d.

the nissin flashes are more expensive then the yongnuo ones.
i want to order the YN-468 but will wait til its restock

I have YN460 and find it good, I use it on both Canon and Blad, usually just in manual mode and choose one of the 8 levels as I think will suit. Reliable and quick to recharge for the next shot.

the YN467 has ETTL and zoom feature. anyone know if the Nissin has them also?

Just wondering which Yongnuo flash have you bought? I am in dilemma choosing between 460II , 560 .. and am confused with model that have eTTL function. Need it for my canon 40D.

Owned a Nissin Di622 (used with D40x-sold) , tried them off camera with built in flash but need to be in light of sight ' seriously ' , have not tried with wireless trigger. The usual high pitch recharge noise and 5s recharge time with normal battery. If not mistaken GN>40 , consistence flash output and very pleasing photo.
