The 568 is just as powerful as the Nikon SB-700, possibly a little MORE powerful, actually, but not in any meaningful sort of way. The only difference between the 568EX and the 568 EX II is that the EX II has what's called "HSS", or High Speed Synch. It's an option that, in my opinion, most people don't need and won't use; hence I don't suggest paying for it, but that's me. If you want to better understand what HSS is all about have a read here: <a href="https://fstoppers.com/originals/demystifying-high-speed-sync-68527" target="_blank">Demystifying High Speed Synch</a>.Now, if you have money to burn, or just want to be "all-Nikon, all-the-time", then yeah, as I said before the SB-700 is a great flash; I just think it's waaaay over-priced for what it is. My GF and I also find the Yongnuo's are simpler to use. Consider, for the price of one SB-700, you could buy two SB-568EX's, have them both blow up on you, turn around and buy a third 568EX and you'd still be money ahead over buying the one SB-700. Yongnuo also makes excellent wireless triggers and slaves should you decide to expand your skills-base into using off-camera flash......</blockquote>
