[QUOTE="Danika Taylor Amott, post: 502932, member: 40973"] Hi, totally new here so apologies about the randomness of this question. I just have a Nikon 3200 camera and I'm looking for a good flash that I can bounce so I'm not always confined to finding my own light if that makes sense. I'm currently just learning and loving photography. It seems there is a huge difference in knockoff prices and also, I called smartphotohut since their 700 speedlight was much cheaper. He told me that these were "imports" and that's why they were so low but, he would send the "US version" for more money. Am I being sold a line? Cause their prices even with the "us version" is amazing but, how would I even know if it was real? Where do you buy your equipment? Is there an online you can trust or do you go to a local store? broken down into two sections I guess......is there an equivalent knockoff that will save a ton of money and.......where do you buy trusted equipment? Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
