YN560II Thoughts?

[Astroman]

Hi all

I am considering getting a YN560II Flash unit or the yn565 to go with my 400D. Of those with this flash unit, would you recommend it? If there others that would be more suitable. I don't have the budget that can stretch to get a Canon Flash Speedlite

The Yongnuo's are alright, but, as with everything, you get what you pay for. Don't be surprised if it doesn't last the distance.

I have a manual control spare that I keep around just in case.
