Heya Guys and Gals,

I just purchased the Nissin Di866 for Nikon. Been testing it out and am very happy with the product. Below are some test shots. Will post more details of the product when I have more time. The pictures have not been edited only resized.

Personal Review

Thus far I have not qualms over the build quality of the item.
The LCD screen has this blur-ish tint to it but its no issue for me as all of them look like that.
The features are amazing have tested using slave flash feature and works like a charm.

Regarding the "sub-flash for fill-in while main flash is bounced" ...need to learn how to fine tune this feature as all my shots are over exposed. Will update once I play around a bit more on it.

Cheers

Hey bro, how's the Di866 so far? I'm pretty interested in this flash...
Just wondering, can the sub-flash be deactivated?

Yup. You can choose the power setting for it, or even deactivate it completely.

Ooh dat's good... pretty cool. Would you recommend this over an SB-600? It's pretty tempting

the GN is bigger than sb600..but quality wise i go for sb600

Btw, any idea where to get a good price for this? Haven't really seen this model around. Would like to go try for myself

someone said but i forgot where that u can get a decent price at J One.below 1k if i am not wrong

it's actually stated in post no. 7 in this thread.
RM 990

I just did some calls, the cheapest I could get is rm900.
Now this flash is tempting.... was aiming for a Metz 48 or 58.

^Metz is way better than nissin.

yup, Metz more well known.... but my pocket not so deep .... was not too keen on SB600 or Nissin 622, so was aiming for Metz 48AF (rm750) as the much better spec Metz 58 too $$$ same thing with SB900.
... then along came Nissin 866, can get for RM900 which is abt Metz 58 & SB900 spec.
this poison very dangerous.... then also lens not in the picture yet....

I'm not too familiar with Metz... so between the Metz 48AF, Nikon SB-600 and Nissin Di866, which is the best buy ar?

my budget around rm900+ so eyeing the Di866
