For shots of kids around the house and some outdoor nature photography on my Canon SXi whats the opinion, is it worth spending the $160 for the 565 or stick to the $80 468 flash?
So far I know the 565 is stronger, supposedly built better and supposedly a little more user friendly. The 468 is smaller to carry and does have good reviews.
Opinions?
I have read a lot of reviews about them and haven't seen any negative info. The only negatives I have seen is someone wondering how Canon lets them get away with selling exact duplicates of their speedlites and that their guide numbers are a little over-rated.
David Hobby is paid by Nikon !!
The irony is that most of the people that post on his "strobist" Flickr website use Yongnuo flashes for OCF work !
(I've been using those 'junk' flashes for years with no problems!)
It is not just Dave Hobby (Is he paid by Nikon, because I know he also bought medium format and was going to tell Nikon to eat it on the D4), but a quick google shows the older models get complaints.
I'm willing to bet that just as many of those people on there use the lumopros, older canon/Nikons, and vivitars as well as they do the yongnuo.

A quick google and you'll see some of the negativity that is surrounding their older units and the Q/C of them.

take a look at the David Hobby flickr "strobist" site http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/
and see the lights described in the pics (a requirement for posting ---- a lot of Yongnuo flashes !!!!
or start a thread about Yongnuo reliability in a flash forum like http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=35 hint yongnuo flashes are used heavily in OCF work and they are reliable, at least according to the users
