I have chosen as ambitious amateur photographer aware of a flash China because they are cheaper compared to the original Canon flashes several times. The choice was between the Yongnuo 568EXII and the Triopo, ultimately the price was for me the decisive factor. In retrospect, I'm glad about this decision, because I have compared the Triopo Yongnuo with a friend and have to say this is the processing of the Triopo even slightly better, especially the feel of the buttons on the back like it much better at Triopo. As mentioned in other comments, there are occasional slight underexposure, which does not bother me personally arg, wenns it simply arrives shoot in RAW, then you can see the slight occasional underexposure again compensate (Occasionally means to me 1 of 50 pictures). Otherwise, on the whole a very good lightning is what beat for this price in my eyes. And who does not want to accept the slight drawback with the occasional underexposure, which must hold 500 place for an original Canon Speedlite 600EX on the table. Unfortunately no German manual is generally is the most self-explanatory anyway and the rest one can still from the English manual for not having taken Translator Google
