blinker Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I bought the Nikon version of this one, very impressed so far. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer®-COLOR-SCREEN-Camera-Digital-Cameras/dp/B00Q5Z9NHK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1437491020&sr=8-8&keywords=Canon+flash Would leave you money left for flash stand etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey finn Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Yongnuo are just ok, not bad if you have a few and are using them off camera and you want to save money but if you want just one main flash you would be better getting the best you can afford, shame you cant go that bit further and get a Nissin, they are just better built and work better. Also have a look on Harrison Cameras used accessories section, they have some very nice Canon units for around that price.
