First Flash Help

hey guys, looking to get my 1st flash, on a canon 70d, which would you go for, the YongNuo YN-568EX II or YONGNUO YN-600EX-RT, the 600 is only slightly more, is it worth going for the extra?

many thanks!

(noob when it comes to flash sorry!)

Yes, get the 600, the RT feature is worth the entry fee alone.

I know like myself you use the Canon version. I would like a couple more but dropping £400 each roughly on the canon version for occasional. use seems a but mad. Have you used the YN-600EX-RT? I'm wondering how you found it compares, power and menu use the same? I've read the build isn't as good but I expect that

I have 4 of the canon ones, bought them way before these cheaper ones were even announced so I have no problem buying them. I have one of the Younguo in the way, will see how it stack up. I do have the trigger though, it works just like the canon, it's fine but the buttons is a bit iffy in comparison.

Thanks, could you let me know how it does when you have tested it? Either here or PM

I have the canon trigger and I'm very happy with that so if the younguo is ok I might just get them for now.

Bump, Ray how are you finding that flash compared to the canon? Given it a good test yet?
