[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 408851, member: 14443"] I have the 568 and 565. Ive used them as on camera flahses and they arent as accurate as nikons for ttl. I know that the power is controlled byt the camera to tell it when to close but IMO there is some nikon circuitry that does it much better. just like sigma back engineer AF to work with nikon cameras, I believe anything 3rd party is done this way as well. nikons flashes are way more accurate. there is some proprietary software/circuitry working that makes it better. I have no doubt. I was considering the phottix mitros but read that the flash tends to overexpose and even in a firmware they released, one was to fix the overexposure. so I think it confimrs that it is true and they adjust it as they need. there is something in the nikon flashes that the others dont have and its the reason I solely use them as on camera flashes. especially in ittl. with 622n slave or not. I did have an event where there was something extremely weird happening and none of my flashes were working properly for some reason. I used the 568 and I was adjusting power at least 50% of the time. off camera, the yongnuo ARE KINGS! theyre fast powerful inexpensive and are well made. they sell like crazy. pros here use tons of them. many use them on light stands and many get toppled over from guests bumping into them. either it works or if it doesnt you buy another. simple as that for $70. their slaves are excellent as well. biggest problem with the Sb700 is its isnt [I]that [/I]strong. its fast to recycle but in bounce mode it just cant pump out enough light. Im trying to modify a rogue flash bender clone I bought on ebay to make a bigger bounce card that will push more light forward instead of up. its too huge and cumbersome to use as it is. Im now keeping my eyes on shanny flashes because they look like they got some killer stuff working and are competitive with yongnuo. they look killer. im waiitng for the flasgship nikon to be released around april.
