[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 489482, member: 12496"] I have a Yongnuo YN565EX, and I like it fine. Mine is nearly two years old and the battery door just broke, tiny tabs that hold door closed stripped off. Turns out this is a problem for I think all Yongnuo models, but it is said to be fixed in recent models. Ebay is full of inexpensive battery doors from Yongnuo for this, and I ordered one, which probably takes two weeks from China. I still am very pleased with the flash. The Amazon link where I bought mine says Discontinued by Manufacturer now, but several other Amazon links don't say it. Making things up, but there is a YN565EX II model for Canon, perhaps that is coming? A review is at [url=http://www.scantips.com/lights/yongnuo565.html]Review of the Yongnuo YN565EX Speedlight[/url] The Yongnuo YN568 is similar, with a HSS option that the D3200 does not support, but it can be ignored. Also the Neewer VK750 II is similar (a little less power, comparable to SB-700 power) and is only $53 at Amazon. It is very nice too, esp considering the price.
