Nissin Speedlite...

I want to ask how is the quality of Nissin speedlite?
Because i was thinking want to buy speedlite...

ok, Jackson, plz reply this thread. as i know you are the nissin supporter~

my personal experience on friends nissin tat i use before...

1) 622 - The WB is good, and consistent on canon. Din hear him complain and still taking good family portrait.

2) 622 - The WB is inconsistent, i m not sure the TTL reading is accurate because it will give me over expose most of the time. on a canon as well. If this user see this, he will give a more detail explanations...hahaha oh yes, he is changing it to ori soon...

3) 866 - the WB is super good, GN is high, the power is strong and its comparable to the top range of flash for other brands. On a canon. So far no problem.

4) 866 - the WB is good but sometime have connection problem on a nikon camera. i m not sure abt the connectivity. but it seems 3rd party have inconsistency.

The money you invest, i think its worth it la. of cos everyone know ori is the best, if budget not a concern, just go ahead. or go for ori but lower range.

The only 866 unit around among us I think..

Basically the complain I know of the 866 is that the light trigger not as sensitive as the SB900.

buy what u can afford....of course more expensive speedlite is better......same as everything else...bmw sure better than proton

i used nissin 622 before, i can say the recharge rate is slow, ettl not so accurate, no high speed sync, eat battery very fast..... but quality u get what u paid for...but still usable lah

Lol, my name also out...
Nissin 866 so far so good. Overall ok, just the ttl when u zoom, abit noisy. Other very good. Sure cant compair with sb900, the price also different many...

Hopefully peisee gets the answer she or he needs.

I have a 622,recharge timing is slow but it is sufficient to do normal shooting not good in event.

maybe got another jackson in photonian

anyway...di866 is good enough...just go for it...new price is around rm880

Yeap got to agree with that, at that price the only Nikon speedlight is the SB600 which is a lower range compared to the 866.

Haha... Have few jackson in photonian also, but using nissin flash jackson i think just me only... Hehe...

hi Peisee,

I'm using Di622. Not too sure which model u r looking at?

If u r on a budget, i think this is the best flash u can get (worth the money). Bought mine for RM430 only.
But overall performance wasn't that good especially if u r taking events.
the TTL not accurate and the exposure not consistent. That's my experience and i believe Jacky experience my nissin too....hahahah
But at times....it can be ok.
Mine have some connection problem too....sometime it cant flash...so have to deattach again....

Definately, ori Canon will be the best choice...Just got mine today and really good.Got the exposure that i want.

Why not come to our gathering next monday, then u can try my Di622 and Jackson's 866 before u decide.

Just my experience........

Top of the range flashgun from Canon, sure good!

If u r serious in photography, save more for ori and of course pocket must permit also....

Flash capability does matter if you're doing a lot of indoors. Unless you're on FX + big primes then can probably rely on available light. But still, flash is required to fill in for the shadows when needed.

i m looking for these information too... thanks for every1 who sharing the information here. after read, i think i will get a 866 or SB-600

Why not just wait a while for the latest release of SB-700....

True, the SB700 has similar interface like the SB900 much more user friendly compared to the SB600/SB800.
