So had a flash forth, and at the beginning of my search, it has so been looking as if no flash off leads to an original Canon over for me. Then I also borrowed a Canon 580EX flash by my friend and I then knew: That I want to if only not the problem with the price would be, at the time my wife would never have allowed me to once again spend almost 500 euros for more more "toys". The Canon 430 was then even more in my price range and I was almost as far as I wanted to order this when I read some reviews of YONGNUO.
What I've read has given me so very much that I thought to myself: I'll just jump in the deep end and order this YONGNUO what I actually have always initially labeled as "cheap junk".
I can happily say that exactly the right decision! I can recommend highly enough YONGNUO Flash.
There are a few things that do not soooooooo are great as in the equivalent such as Canon. the one by the flash scroll wheel on "hot shoe" (I know the German word level not) must attach instead of mounting method, the Canon with its flashes now used by a clip. also looks at the display is not so modern like the Canon. Another thing that is missing is that you can not fix it by pressing a button the flash head as you probably at Canon 680 can. But these minor inconveniences I gladly accepted.
One thing that is different, that I'm already accustomed from other Asian import equipment is of different color code for ready and waiting ... This flash lights GREEN while it is charging the flash, and red when the flash is ready. As I said there is nothing new to me because I have a few other imports the same "false" but (she is from China) light up according to what the woman of my cousins is the normal color code ... Every now and then I see it just yet Green light and make an almost completely black picture but fortunately we are in the digital age!
E-TTL works here at YONGNUO as good as at the Canon device, I have tried the 2 devices side by side and have always come to the identical result.
I am 100% satisfied with this flash and will sure buy my other flashes again of YONGNUO. 5 of 5 earned points for this product tips, I hope I can help you with this review!
