Best price for 5600HS

[apchoo]

Looking for a new flash unit to go with the 5D I'm planning to buy when in S'pore. Has anyone bought a 5600HS recently? How much and where?

[Drudkh]

price range is at $560 +/-.

Got 1 at AP at 535 w gst.

Is $535 w GST @AP the best price people have paid for the 5600HS?

Interesting.. looking at the SPEC, the distance coverage is not as good as lower end Canon 420EX flash..

[Caussway]

The 5600 is obviously more powerfull with guide number 56m then 3600 ( 36m) .
Not sure whether 3600 head can swivel or not.

I think 3600 don't have swivel, that's why thinking of getting 5600.

seem like Canon low end flash Ex430 is much better than 3600.

No, basically u want the swivel when u are shooting in portrait mode and u want to bounce the flash off the ceiling so that the light does not appear to come from one side only... although it might make a more dramatic picture if u know how to get it right...

Which AP store? SLS or Funan? Or doesn't it matter?
