Several people here use Yongnuo brand speedlights with no issues. YONGNUO, photographic equipment, camera accessories, flash light, camera remote control, speedlite, photo equipment, LED photo light, flash trigger, camera wireless remote control, TTL cord See http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/lighting-hardware/344014-canon-vs-yongnuo-vs-metz-flashes.html

Others trust the OEM's speedlights more even though the cost difference can be 2 or more times the price of third party flashes.

The yongnuo triggers work well also.

I cannot vouch for the Yogs, but I do look to pick up 2 of them to use in the near future! They are nice and portable. My B800s aren't bad to lug around but sometimes studio strobes aren't the most convenient thing in the world of lighting.
