My first DSLR arrived on Thursday from ebay, only ~1500 actuations and cheap! Plan is to play with it and keep an eye out for any kit lenses going cheap, an 18-55 STM would be lovely I think! Also need to pick up an SD card for it, the Class 4 4GB I have lying around feels like it's letting the side down!

It's here !
Works just like the Canon flash menu and everything.

YN-E3-RT and 2x YN-600EX-RT added to the shopping list!
(I know the speedlites aren't on sale until October though).
Edit*
This spec is very cool:
It has more features than the Canon version and costs ~£70. No idea about the price of the speedlites yet though but I imagine they will be in the £200 region?

I'm holding out for those YN-600EX thingies for my first flash purchase! I don't use em much but I want one anyway! I don't mind waiting till October, it'll give me time to pay off a bit of my latest lens purchase :/

So call dust and water resistence is no more than the rubber seal when you lock down the hotshoe. The Canon flashes does the same. There is no rubber seal in the battery compartment.
Well external flashes go a long way to helping that
then you can learn to start bouncing the light or diffusing light etc

There's always a lot of advice here, I still not sure how to use all of mine just takes a bit of practice

Oh I have a 580EXII and have tried bouncing and diffusers and so on but the shots just never seem to work out. Need more practice but opportunities are slim.
This for me too. there are a fair few areas of photography i never get to do.
usually with people!
i do need a macro flash setup
Yeah for the money it's a no brainer even if it does lack the build quality and reliability. If you need the AF assist then you have to have this one. Personally I don't so it was never an issue in buying choice for me. Plus I have had nearly 2 years with mine anyway so waiting wasn't an option
Both lack the most useful feature for me, zooming. Pathetic that neither do that and you have to walk back to manually zoom the head. Hopefully this will spur canon into a MK2 with both those features.
Zooming and ETTL over RF and manual contro of each speedlite individually are the main advantages for me wanting this new Yongnuo set. It would save a lot of faffing around manually adjusting each flash or having someone "press this button here" on tap
