I have the YN 468 TTL, it works great for the price.

I'd give up a limb before I'd let go of my YN 468 II flash and the 565 EX looks even better. The Nikon branded flashes are insanely overpriced, IMO.I have the YN 468 TTL, it works great for the price.
After a few hours of reading reviews including camera forum posts and again blanching at SB-700/910 costs I've ordered a YN 565EX for $148.00 delivered.

I have a 565 but haven't used it enough to offer comments. So far, no complaints whatsoever.
Technically, the 565 offers a battery pack option but is limited to 1/250 sync (1/320 under the right circumstances)
The 568 II doesn't offer the battery pack option but does have HSS, as I recall up to 1/8000.
Everything I read and hear about both is nothing but good.
Question on the sync speed... My D5100 sync's at 1/200... what good does a higher sync speed in the flash do if the camera will not support it?? Limited knowledge here as you can see...

The only reason I mentioned the 568 is because Tami Jo's listed camera is a D7000 which will support HSS up to 1/8000. The D5100 doesn't support HSS and I don't think there's a workaround.

the YN 468 II has TTL also, at a lower price. The 565 looks real good too.
