I want to pick up a decent flash head to pair with my D5200. I don't necessarily intend to pick up a second flash head for dual flash photography, however I foresee that's very possible and very likely.
Originally I was looking at the SB-700 to start myself out so that I could have a commander flash unit. I found it on sale for $311.
However, a friend guided me toward this item: http://yn.eachshot.com/product/yong...ed-sync-hss-flash-speedlite-speedlight_nikon/
I saw this wireless transmitter they're selling as well: http://yn.eachshot.com/product/yong...-flash-trigger-2-transceivers-for-nikon-dslr/
I'm wondering whether the wireless transmitter + the Yongnuo 568ex would be a superior route to go over the SB-700?
I'm new to flash photography, and I don't know how important certain features will be. I'm not looking to save a lot and get a super basic flash, but I'm not looking to spend an arm and a leg on something that's way more than what I need. I want to be able to grow with any gear that I purchase from here on in, but I also don't want to feel like I spent too much on my gear and end up watching the gear get dated as I learn how to use it. As far as the foreseeable future goes, I could see myself using a max of 3 flash heads, likely I'll be interested in having 2, and I might only stick with 1... my budget is around $300 right now for my initial purchase, and I might not be buying for another month while I think things through.
