Nissin or yongnuo?

[bukitimah]

Anyone has experience with nissin Di456 and yongnuo 560? Which would you choose? Please share your experience with me.

I recommend YN a lot because it''s much affordable and it works with RF (wireless) triggers. Although it's no good at big events still it's much reliable and will last longer.

Nissin or original flashes are good for events where TTL is almost a 'must-have' as the lighting conditions can change very quickly.

YongNuo 560 is good for offshoe flash photography as what RedCar mentioned and they'll work with all the radio triggers.

I have bought the gongnuo flash. After much consideration, I choose yongnuo because of the following reasons:

1) cost - it is half the cost of Nissin
2) GN is suppose to be higher - I wanted to take outdoor bird and hopefully the throw would be better
3) I feel the iTTL may not work and it is more likely that I will use manual adjustment especially for macro. If it is out door general flash, more likely to be full flash. I read the sensor depend very much on the subject you focus. It is is light color base, it will give a wrong signal.

Well, now I just have to try it out and see it I can adapt to it. So far so good with macro. I am look at how to better defuse the light.
