Nissin Di622 Flashgun

[gr2k]

Kenro recently launched the Nissin Di622 (http://www.kenro.co.uk/en/UK/product/NFG001N/4/606/Nissin+Di622+Flash+Gun+for+Nikon+Cameras.html) and i'm wondering if any of you have used it before?

Basically it's:
- Plain easy to use, no complicating menus
- More powerful than SB-600
- About the same price as SB-400

A friend of mine has been using his with a D50 for quite awhile now and he's yet to face any problems. I'm wondering if any of you have experience with this flash unit as well :)

no comments on this flash unit? I saw it today at LYP selling for sub RM 600. tempting.

i heard Sunpak also have a nice equivalent. not sure which model.

i'm planning to get a flash, but i'm budgeted to about RM 500-600, which means that i can only either Nissin or Sunpak? any ideas which i should get? :cool:

Heard of it and seen it. Looks very much like the Falcon Eyes/Vivitar DF400 which I'm using only without the read LCD screen. Hopefully it doesn't share the "head jamming" problem as mine has.

my experience with nissin "cup noodle" speedlight...:D

-the range cover same as SB800...24mm - 105mm
-it come with wide angle diffuser and bounce card...so it's like SB800
-the head is biggest...outstand SB600 and SB800..
-can do optical trigger...so can trigger by other flash...but please bare in mind...only if the camera set to TTL..if it set to manual...nissin wont fire...
-recycle time bit sux...full power about 6 sec...
-cannot pair with "ebay" radio trigger aka. Cactus Radio Trigger...so if u plan for jump into creative lighting..this unit is not recommended..

so that what i can think of...but for a start..i love it..as it served it purpose..

well i wasn't to happy with the Di-622 performance so i sold it...

at that time i bought it at RM 475 or close...but now the price has went up so i'd STRONGLY suggest a used SB-600 instead

[zybisko14]

for the best bang for buck. the SB800 is worth every penny. it has better built and alot more of cool features. SB600 make good slaves

[gr2k]

yep its really how much you need out of ur flash unit..i found the SB-800 having too many complicating features which slowed me down..

so i got the SB-600 instead and used my pop-up as Commander...

it's a good flash like what was mentioned in earlier post except that there's no wireless trigger in the market for nissin flash... my Di622 works well for 1 week and then the problem starts, everytime i rotate the head, it won't fire. i brought it back to the shop where i bought it & the flash work perfectly i.e. can rotate and fire... sigh. the problem will crop up once a while, but i guess u get what u pay for. other than that it work perfectly well, honestly...
