I'll have to disagree. An SB700 compared to the 565EX is underpowered yet twice the price, the only reason I see to go for it is if you need HSS and Commander modes from the get go.

For a beginner especially, paying RM900+ upfront for a first party flash is overwhelming especially since they do not know whether they will be using it all the time as well.

I strongly encourage beginners to flash getting third party speedlites albeit known ones like yongnuo since their build is just as solid as first party flashes. Things like power output and recycle times are on par as well.

I currently own 3 Yongnuo flashes, a 565EX and two 560III, the latter having built in radio triggering which you'll have to pay over 2K+ to get in canon's latest 600EX-RT versus just 250 bucks for a 560III.

Going to purchase a Phottix Mitros soon which has all the features of a flagship like HSS, commander modes. Yet is still half price compared to a SB-910.

I'm not saying first party flashes are not good btw, just saying that for most people, third party units are good enough for their needs already since not all first brand merchandise is appropriately priced.

that's the old price lah...

600et-ex = RM1,599.00 http://shashinki.com/shop/canon-600ex-wire...ia-p-10415.html
SB-910 = RM1,699.00 http://shashinki.com/shop/nikon-speedlight...115-p-9352.html

so canon more cheap + got radio trigger tongue.gif

of cause the Yongnuo is even cheaper but don't know how good hmm.gif

my jaw almost drop when I saw YongNuo YN-560 III for rm298 but then no ttl...the day that YongNuo release a canon ettlii compatible flash with radio trigger and proven in the field and below rm500 is the day I sell all my canon speedlights and change to this! looks very promising just a few step more b4 they reach radio trigger+ettl biggrin.gif looks very promising indeed nod.gif

The 560III power ratio can be controlled via remote control leh, the feature hasn't been unlocked yet tho.

for the price the YongNuo is indeedd a steal! but still no ttl...they are probably working on it right now so I'll wait for that and see how it goes...

For me having the ability to control power from a distance is amazing enough already, nevermind the absence of TTL. Especially for RM250 per flashgun  shocking.gif

Heck, if anything I started using flash with TTL, then more and more I learn to shoot manual power instead. Better control.  laugh.gif

I also use manual flash control to this day if you look at my sig all my radio triggers are manual non ttl but they are some case where ttl are useful such as in the case where the environment has constant changing light messing up your manual exposure constantly which is why I look forward to a cheap all in one trigger of cause the phottix odin or yongnuo ttl trigger do support this but I want a all in want solution like the expensive 600ex-rt, can't wait for yongnuo to release them nod.gif
