Supposed to be a clone of the 580exii just without hss, would be cheaper than either of those you listed Canon 50D | Canon 70-200 F4L IS | Canon 24-105 F4L IS | Canon 18-200 F3.5-5.6 IS | Canon 50 F1.8 | Canon 580EXII

Read somewhere on here that the Nissin's have reliability issues too. Chris

Oct 11, 2011 20:06 | #8 my 430 exii is great! Ive had my umbrella stand crash a handful of times out in the field with a good gust of wind and this is well built and well worth the cash. I just picked up a Yonguo YN - 460 ii as a back up and it works great, but build quality is 'get what you pay for' imho. 6D, Sigma 24mm f1.4 art, sigma 85 f1.4 art

Phoenixkh a mere speck More info | Oct 11, 2011 20:10 | #9 I realize I'm not exactly qualified to comment, having only a G12....but I saved up and bought a 580EX II based on my son's advice.. he has a 5Dc... and has a 430. He told me to hold out until I could afford the 580EX II... I just bought one..and I'm very happy with the results so far.. I still have a lot to learn Kim (the male variety) Canon 1DX2 | 1D IV | 16-35 f/4 IS | 24-105 f/4 IS | 100L IS macro | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II | 100-400Lii | 50 f/1.8 STM | Canon 1.4X III

I dont see that changing my body just yet is an option. You body will work fine with the 580, no need to upgrade just yet Chris
