I'm trying to get myself into car photography as a hobby, and I'm looking for a fill flash (also for a more efficient portrait flash), the Yongnuo seem too good to be true in a sense. The price is really low, and they compare real high to brand name. Gripped CANON XSi 450D|CANON EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS|CANON EF 50mm 1:1.8 II|CANON EF 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6 II|Manfrotto Tripod

The price is really low, and they compare real high to brand name. It does seem too good to be true but it is true. I've been using Yongnuo flashes for over a year - reliable and cheap. You can start with the basic flash YN-465 - works with the camera menu. ETTL, full manual controls, $65 or go to an advanced flash with more features like the YN-468

Dec 01, 2010 12:48 | #10 I just ordered the Yongnuo YN 465 to replace my 430 EX, which I'm giving to a family member. I don't shoot much flash at all, so it seemed worth whatever "risk" may be involved. From what I've researched however, there doesn't seem to be that much of a risk.
