[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 321932, member: 12496"] Yeah, for 5x more cost, you'd think the SB-910 ought to do something special. :) My Yongnuo YN565EX does have some rough edges... 1. Zooming doesn't shift to DX mode (I could not care less though, DX or not. Neither do my SB-800 flashes, so I'm used to that). SB-910 does. 2. No flashing Ready LED warning when flash power was insufficient for the situation requested (I do miss that). SB-910 does. 3. Dumb red focus assist pattern flashes incessantly every second in the remote slave modes. Disable only works on hot shoe. I do hate that. Could tape it over I guess. SB-910 doesn't do it. There seems to be menus intending to control all those things, but results are inoperative in my unit. But, these seem pretty minor things. The big picture is that its basic performance simply works great, and it is fully powered, and fully featured (except HSS and above list). Even works as a remote with a Nikon commander. It simply gets the job done, and incredibly well, and for the $100 price class seems breathtaking to me. I have offered some observations at [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/yongnuo565.html"]Review of the Yongnuo YN565EX Speedlight[/URL] It may be more about using the Nikon flash system than an actual review of a flash unit.
