First Flashgun

[CW90]

Have been looking for a flash for my d3100 for a while now and really cant make you my mind!

This is the 3 I have been looking at:

Nissin Di622
Sigma EF 610 DG ST
Yongnuo YN-560 II

Is there any pros and cons to any of them? I know the nissin gets good reviews so might just play it safe and go for it?

Anybody got any advice on any other flashes from around the £100 mark?

Cheers for any advice.

I like the YN565ex or the newer HSS one
I have two of the former and like them
Nissin get good reviews but some of these you can get on the highstreet. YNs are all order and trust what you'll get in the post

I got the Yongnuo YN-560 II the other day for my birthday. Can't comment on it too much in terms of features but seems to be perfect for me. There's no TTL sync with the D3100 only manual which is okay for me.

I think you should go with Nissin Di622...it is very convenient if you are on budget. The unit offers very basic features but this is a positive thing for amateurs like me because it makes using the unit an easy thing....This is my personal experience!
