So while the YN-560 is the more powerful flash, in a real life photo session with a waiting model who is a little cold, you just cannot afford the time to mess with the setting of YN-560. The reason being that it was just much easier to control the SB-600 from the camera (I was using the Nikon CLS system), as I had to adjust the power of my key light much more often than my secondary light so the SB-600 was the natural choice. During the photo session, I used my SB-600 as my main source of light with the YN-560 as the kicker or hair light. I put these flashes to use in a real life photo-shoot, you can see the resultsВ here: Switching Lights.

The only test left for the YN-560 is reliability, and hopefully I wonвЂ™t have to update this article with any bad news for a long time. But for $70, itвЂ™s hard to fault the YN-560.

While I do enjoy shooting in manual most of the time, having TTL could mean the different between getting the shot and not having the shot at times. Second, since there is no TTL, using it as an on camera flash could could get cumbersome if the light conditions change drastically.

This could beВ awful if you set the YN-560 is some really strange or remote places, I learned to put my YN-560 in the easy to reach places and put my sb-600 in the harder to reach areas. First, you can not change the flash power setting right from the camera, you have to walk over to the flash in order to do it. That said, the fact that the YN-560 is a completely manual flash and that could get annoying times. The flash is quite powerful and theВ versatileВ zoom range can be very helpful. The controls on the YN-560 is very intuitive and did not take long to to master them. Otherwise, the flash work like a charm, its optical trigger works very well and I havenвЂ™t had any misfire yet. It is of little annoyance, but I figured I disclosed such information for those who are looking for a thorough review. It is either I am doing it wrong or itвЂ™s broken (Update: you have to use your fingernail to push the button all the way in in order to for the вЂњpilotвЂќ button to fire off a test flash). One little problem I have is I canвЂ™t test fire the flash with the вЂњpilotвЂќ button or whatever you would call that. Would it last as longВ as its Nikon and Canon counterparts? Probably not andВ I have seen plenty of Nikon flashes from the mid 90вЂ™s still in use today.ДЄfter almost a month of extensively using the YN-560 flash, I am pretty happy with it. Also, I am planning on doing a bit of weddings and portraits work this summer so having the YN-560 will allow for some extra creativity as well as providing a solid backup in the system. If I can use it reliably for at least a couple of years, then it could be considered quite a bargain. It is worth the money? Well, only time will tell. For $70 bucks though, you really canвЂ™t ask for too much. For photographer who like to exploit the i-ttl system, then this flash probably isnвЂ™t a good choice for them. Personally, I prefer to use my SB-600 in manual mode for most of the time anyway so the transition into YN-560 is not a big deal. The i-ttl function essentially allow you to put the flash into automatic mode and this could be quite useful for events where the lighting conditions change drastically in a very short amount of time. The biggestВ drawback of the YN-560 is that it is a manual flash only, it does not have the i-ttl like the SB-600.

The Sb-600, on the other hand, needs you to dig through its menu to find the all the options you need, a much more complicated system to get used to. You kind of have to memorize the power chart in the manual in order to do that, but my guess work is pretty good though. The only thing is, on YN-560, the power setting is not exactly marked (this is no longer an issue on new model, see below) so you donвЂ™t always know exactly what the power output is. Everything on YN-560 are control by buttons on the flash body.В The controls are very intuitive and I was able to figure everything out in a very short amount of time. I donвЂ™t know why I get hung over the enormous size of this thing, but I am.ДЇrom the back, Yongnuo YN-560 does not have a haveВ display panel like that of the Nikon SB-600. Side profile, again, the YonguoВ YN-56o is a much bigger flash. Also, anyone noticed that the YN-560 kind of look like the Canon 580 EX II? Standing next to the Nikon SB-600, the Yonguo YN-560 just towered over it more expensive baby brother.

The zoom range of 24-105mm is also impressive for any price range. Also, with a guide number of 58 m at maximum zoom, this flash is as powerful as the flagship flashes of Canon and Nikon.

The bigger the camera, the more professional it looks.

Here are a few first impressions and a mini review: IВ went through about 100 frames and so far, it has been great. I recently bought a third party flash, the Yongnuo YN-560.
