I decided to buy this flash because a friend of mine has the first version of it, and I liked it, so I wanted to try out this version. I found this flash to be more powerful, and to have more control over its power than the first version because it has fine tuning of each power level, wich is great for me, I use it as a secondary and fill light with an SB-24 as the main light, and I am getting great results. It is an excelent value for the money, the only thing I dont like about it is the built in slave because it almost does not work in daylight so dont count on it, it works better at night and indoor. It is also good to have a slave mode to ignore preflash. Cons: No zoom, no TTL, slave not so good in daylight. Pros: Ignore pre flash, fine tuning of power, wide algle card included, bounce card included, excelent value for the price. If you dont have a lot of money to buy Nikon's last creation, this is the flash for you, buy two as I did.Read full review
I purchased a Canon camera that allowed me use with a hot shoe mounted flash. A did a search and after seeing the specifications of YongNuo YN-460H l purchased it. It was compatible to my camera and I installed it and began taking pictures. The features I liked about the camera was its adjustable power feature. I used it in different mode and liked the adjustable head for bounce flash. Also the adjustable power allowed me to use it as fill with some shots I made in sunlight. The flash is well- made with a metal reinforced shoe and. It seems to last well on the AA batteries. I did use rechargeable one. For my use I found it very acceptable and rate it highly.
I was very impress by the ease of use on this flash, I own a Nikon SB-700, SB-28dx, and SB-600, and this flash is just as versatile as they are. I use this flash primary as a manual strobist type of work and its functions well for that and the optical trigger is great. Easy to adjust, battery is good and Guide Number is high and love the price tag as well. Overall if you just need a flash for a Flash this is for you.
I am a Portuguese amateur photographer that sometimes enjoys strobbing. I owe a few os these flash units which so far worked perfectly. Please bare in mind that this is a MANUAL flash, so those of you who wish to use any "automatic" modes should look somewhere else. It's easy to work with and extremely versatile (built-in difuser, 2 axis rotating head, robust body and hot shoe). Works also great under the "slave" mode, although I must say that the red plastic in the front, although looking extremely professional, is a hoax: the light detector is placed in the flash head itself, right beside the flash lamp. This unit flashes like if the sun was in your living room! I could not expect more from a product at this price range.
Great deal for the money. I already had one of the previous model and with the energizer ultra lithium batteries for electronics I get great battery life. It is a manual flash so no TTL metering ( at least with my setup, I don't want to give false info if it is possible) so it takes a little extra thinking/ adjusting for compensating the exposure meter. That being said, its a great alternative to the 1st party flashes that are more then 6x the cost.
