if this Di866 is at around Nikon SB900 price range, which is better to get?
have to wait for the review... cant wait...
den let the pros compare both...

no need ask..ofcoz sb900..

off cos SB900 is better for pros
but i newbie...
i fallen in love wif that sexy color screen~

wht pro? sb900 is not hard to use at all..and it is not for pro only. haha...

let me give u an analogy. You have Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 and Sigma 70-200 f2.8...both on same price. Which 1 is better u asked? u choose sigma 70-200 f2.8 because nikkor 70-200 is for pro? got it?

oops, wrong info relayed, causing salah faham
i wan to mean pros would know in terms of performance SB900 would b better, but newbie/noobies like me punya decision will b easily blurred by the 'blings' or 'extras' given by the Di866... right?
sory for the mistake...

The color screen looks fancy tho.. and great improvements. Dont know its performance under the sunlight. But looks dam big.. But the price..

why so good about color screen? Not like u r gonna stare at the screen...

w00t

Oh, I see.
Can't buy one type and use adapter?
That's what I thought, thanks for correcting me.

Actually, the LCD-colored-display is gonna eat more battery.

haha, true
the color lcd is jz for show off only, not really useful
unless color interface is more user-friendly for beginners?

if the price expensive than Di622 for Rm200~300 definitely a good grab

confirm more den 1k la...
cos where can so much difference from the estimated price of Rm1.4k by the japanese guy...

when is this comin out here laaaa

aiyo, even Nissin homeland Japan oso haven launch, mana ada so fast masuk MY...

btw, Nissin got sole distributor in MY? or all Nissin in MY r brought in personally by shops?

the main concern if not the only concern here is price...or more accurately price to performance ratio...

if the 866 is almost the same price as sb900 then better get sb900..if nissin 866 is priced much lower than sb900 or almost the same price as sb600 then i would rather get the 866.

pro or not not the concern here...money is.

Based on info from nissin japan website + google translator

aiyo, i explained my mistake in another post d
thats wat i mean, if u know your stuffs(normally pros), u will know if same price wif SB900, get SB900 better

launch date for Japan?

it has pc port. so mean can use with most wireless trigger that has the pc port.
sounds good but it has to be priced around RM 1k to be able to sell

adorama had open it for booking..
see here>>http://www.adorama.com/NIDI866N.html?searchinfo=nissin+di866
after convert it to myr, the price should be around 1k++ only..
hehehehe

If between RM 1-1.2K it should be a good buy if it is as good as what is stated in the spec sheets.
