I'm now thinking I would have been better off buying the [B]Yongnuo YN560 III[/B] for the same budget. Can anyone enlighten me, am I right in thinking the Yongnuo is better? It's hard to understand what all the specs of any flash mean when they're still just abstract numbers and letters. I had intended to start off using just a pc cable with the off-camera, before spending on a wireless trigger. The Meike doesn't have a built in pc port, which was a rookie mistake as I assumed this would be a basic feature. :dejection: I intend to use the flash mostly indoors for portraits, petography and macro. Will the Meike meet my needs or will there be significant limitations that the other model doesn't have?
