[QUOTE="madcapmagishion, post: 88847, member: 9159"] I went with the Yongnuo YN560 mainly because it was only $51 (£31.62) w/free shipping from Amazon. (I didn't want to spend $300-400 on a Nikon Flash only to mess it up) I know nothing about using a flash, as I have never used any but the on camera ones on my old D3100 and my "new" D90. So I guess I will be learning about it pretty soon as the UPS man just dropped it off at my door about 1/2 an hour ago. Here's the specifications on the YN560; Brand: Yongnuo Model: YN560 Circuit Design: Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Guide No.: 58 Meters (ISO 100, 105mm) Flash Mode: M, S1, S2 Zoom Range: 24, 28, 35, 50, 70, 80, 105mm Vertical Rotation Angle: -7~90 Degrees Horizontal Rotation Angle: 0~270 Degrees Power Supply: 4×AAsize Batteries (Alkaline Or Ni-MH Are Usable) Lighting Times: 100~1500 Times (AA Alkaline Cell Used) Recycle Time: Approx 3s (AA Alkaline Cell Used) Color Temperature: 5600k Flash Time: 1/200s~1/20000s Flash Control: 8 Levels Of Output Control (1/128~1/1), 57 Levels Of Fine Tuning External Interface: Hot Shoe, PC Port And Eternal Charging Port Wireless Triggering Distance: 20~30m Indoor, 10~15m Outdoor Additional Features:The Electronic Flash Head Zooming, Sound Signal, Automatically Saving Setting, PC Port, Power Saving Mode And Over Heat Protection Bill.
