Speelight : Yongnuo vs Canon

[Checkmouah]

Hi guys!
I want to buy a flash soon for portrait but I'm hesitating between the Canon 430ex II and the Yongnuo 568ex II.

Do you guys know these flashes? Which one would recommand me?

Thanks!

I have 4 of the yongnuo 568EX flashes, albeit for Nikon, and half a dozen of the YN622n radio triggers....I love them.
I found them to be better than my SB600's, and easily as good as my SB700's (which i think might be about the equivalent of the canon 430EX, but dont quote me on that)
the TTL and HSS features have worked flawlessly. I cant speak for the canon versions of course, 'cause i don't have canon gear, but i don't imagine there is much difference.

I mostly use mine in 40" umbrella softboxes and 43" Brollys with no problems.

I don't own the 420, but I have the YN-568 and 622's, and I love them. Zero problems in around a year and a half now.

I would recommend the Yongnuo. Could have had two for the price of the 430 and missed nothing on features.

Wow thanks for all the comment guys very helpful! Did you buy them on eBay?

 

[lambertpix]

Yup. I believe they've got something resembling an online store, but IIRC, I looked for a seller here in the US and pulled the trigger, so to speak.

I just discovered the Godox V860 is it better than the 568exii in your opinion?

Have you considered this kit? B1 Off-Camera Flash

How is Godox V860 better than 568exii?

Any idea how much this cost?

$3,995.00 for the entire kit.

I'm not convinced about Godox. If the Li-ion fails on me, and I stop by a Walmart to buy another battery, and they only carries AA batteries, I'm totally screwed. Yongnuo would be a better choice. I like my 430EXII, it is small and lightweight, but crazy expensive.

I like the yongs too. I had a speedlight, and I still have the triggers. In a budget, I'd go no other way, but I'm a victim of brand marketing snobbery

Thanks. It can stay where it is right now...
