I already have a few on the mk 1 of these flashes and they are reliable.
Just bought 2 of the 560mk2, and hopefully there are no new bug's, as this looks like it just came out Nov. 2011.

Oh nice! i like the lcd! does it have 3.5mm jack? i hope it does it would help me out if it did! i bought a 50ft 3.5mm jack assuming my older yongnou had its usability! what are the power options, for xample 1/2,1/1, and, or lower? i made a recent purchase of an elder 28 nikon, in hope i could make it work according to some research, so i hope the nikon will be useful as these, if not a little bit on the better offering side? Thank you for sharing. happy photography!

I bought 2 of them off Ebay, about $80 each w/ free shipping.
Saw the review
here (external link)

And just went ahead and bought 2. Its REALLY looking like the 580ex now.

gotta remember though that the 560II's don't do ettl which is a pretty big deal if you have the flash on-camera or on a bracket. i do agree that the pysical exterior is very close to the canon's speedlites, however I have been burned by youngnuo in the past with the poor quality capacitor's that they use.

Cool, my 560 MkI has been dandy so far, but since I've been using it on camera mostly, I'll be getting the 565 next.

Unless you need TTL you could buy two of these for the price of one 565.

Well that all depends on what the price increase will be over the original 560. My guess is that LCD screen will add a little to the cost of the 560 II
