Nissin Di866 MKII Professional Flashgun Canon Fit

Although there is some potential for being a good flashgun the Nissin Di866 is badly let down by the poor design of the battery magazine, which often makes it very difficult to load and replace the batteries. I think that Canon camera users would be...

I want to do more than the built-in flash on my Canon EOS500D allows. This allows close-ups of people and animals, flowers, etc that are natural and well-lit. At events like weddings it is now possible to shoot against the light, or inside and...

What a great alternative to Canon\/Nikon flashes. It has the features, ease of use and build quality that is as good as the "named" manufacturers at a far far cheaper price.

An excellent flash unit that is easy to use. The backscreen is clear even in bright light. The navigation menu for set up is logical and easy to navigate. Works well on both my 30D and 5D mk2

The Nissin Di866 Professional Flashgun Canon Fit was most assuredly a very good buy. It is very easy to use and is totally compatible with the Canon 450D camera. In my opinion it is as good as the Canon equivalent flashgun. The colour backscreen makes...
