Comparing Speedlites - Yongnuo YN460, Canon 430EX, Canon 430EX II

A comparison video comparing the Yongnuo YN460, Canon 430EX and Canon 430EX II speedlites.

I talk about the specs, advantages and disadvantages of these speedlites.

Thank you

Do the Yongnuo speedlites work with the built in Canon wireless optical slave? I am thinking of using these for a product photography studio so not super concerned about refresh rates but would prefer to use the canon built in wireless system over pocket wizards or a transmitter. Good review, thanks for sharing.

@rusackson they don't work with the build int wireless TTL function of the 600D, 60D or 7D. but they do have basic optical slave modes that will watch for another flash to fire.

Thanks snoop!

@MrJamesonKurt Not true at all.. If they're designed for Canon digital cameras they're probably designed to have a low sync voltage. The guy was just trying to sell you an expensive new canon flash.

Older flashes (including canon) that have high sync voltage can fry the camera. So if you get an old flash be careful with it. Also it isn't shorting it out either, it's over volting it... That's an entirely different electrical issue. If you're in doubt measure the sync voltage with a volt meter.
