[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 288145, member: 12496"] That seems an interesting choice. :) Compared to the 565, it seems to omit the hot shoe foot (at least for TTL), and the external battery port, and the AF Assist light. The AF assist may be a plus, because the 565 flashes once a second in any slave mode. Turning it off does it on the hot shoe, but not as a slave. I understand it offers the use of remote TTL with Commander, but if going to instead use Manual flash with the radio trigger, why not the YN560 instead? The 560 III has the 603 receiver built in (no extra batteries to worry with). Does Manual flash mode work on the hot shoe? It says Multi mode does, but does not specifically say about Manual. You would assume so, but even if so, without the extra hot shoe CLS communication pins, then auto zoom, and reporting Ready to the camera viewfinder, and quench and such cannot work. Quench was for film TTL, and is probably don't care, but I think Nikon does still terminate the flash when the shutter closes. Guessing, but my guess is (except for Commnader), it cannot report presence to the camera either, so maximum shutter sync speed would not be honored (forced). None of which matters off camera. I can see either the 565 or the 560, but this 510 seems harder to place. :) [/QUOTE]
