[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 144089, member: 8705"] I'm sure the Yongnuo units are ok, but I would say this. Over the past year I've bought two SB900 units and some macro flashes because I wanted to learn about how to control light. Natural light is wonderful but beware of those who say flash is bad. They often just don't have a clue how to control it. The point I would make is that if you buy a Nikon 700,900,910 it will be boringly predictable and do everything you ever read about in Nikon manuals, or pretty much any other as well. If you decide you want to go off camera with pocket wizard it will definitely work and they even make units compatible with Nikon for off camera ttl and power control using sekonic meters. I know this as I've done it. Based on the above I would buy a Nikon first and look at others when you need second units or manual only flash. If you are new to flash and learning you won't know if the problem is your knowledge or incompatibility. [/QUOTE]
