Hi guys. Need some advice regarding flash.
I intend to buy a SB 700 but was thinking it may be too ex for me to start playing around with flash as I have no experience with handling a flash before, and thus afraid of mis-using it and spoiling it instead.
So I see my choices around and consider buying a third party flash instead, which happen to be nissin Di622 Mark II (link: http://www.nissindigital.com/en/di622mii.html) that doesn't cost me a bomb and sells at $220 compared to $400++ for the SB 700. However I'm also concerned that third party flash may not sync well or some technical prob may occurred.
And that's why i'm looking at buying SB 400/600/800.
Please kindly advise. Thanks guys.
P.S. I'm more into shooting portraits (at home) and landscape, sometimes into macro too. And i'm hoping to use the flash in some party and gatherings too.
