    Yongnuo YN600EX-RT or YN568exii

    So I've been looking at getting a TTL flash for the last few weeks and was really zoned on the YN568ex ii, but now I see there is a YN600EX RT for not much money more.

    Anyone have either and can give me your opinion on it?

    Mostly I need it for fill flash, probably mounted on camera, probably bouncing off the ceiling or into a bounce card mounted on the flash head. Also some direct flash as well.

    Will be using it with a 600D and a 6D, mostly indoors, but some outside fill flash as well.

    Mostly I'll be using it with a 24-70 and a 70-200, but also a 50mm too.

    Any advice, gratefully received.

    I got a YN600EX RT recently as a birthday present I also have a YN565EX. as I haven't used the YN600EX properly yet I cant really compare them but if it's as good as some of the write ups ive read the it should be fine

      I recently bought 2 of them, along with the YN-E3-RT trigger. I have a Canon 600rt too, and the Yongnuo's work along side with no problems at all - don't think you will be dissapointed (especially when you look at the cash you will save).

        How's the TTL work out? Still good when used as a bounce flash or using a bounce card?

          I don't really use them in TTL, I prefer to set the flash's manually. However, I don't envision there being any problems with the E-TTL side of things. Once I get a spare bit of time, I'll do a quick test.

              Paul, if you want to send me a PM with an email address, I'll send you the files to compare.

              Nothing fancy, just a shot of my 24-105 done various way's with both Canon & Yongnuo flash's.

                  FWIW, according to Amazon reviews, the 600 has a problem. I think it's overheating or similar, but a lot of users reporting it. The 568 seems a better bet. As an asides, I was in a well known camera chain shop the other week, asking if they sold Yongnuo. The original reply was that they were inferior illegal Canon clones. So I said "So in order to keep the right to sell Canon and Nikon stock, you're not allowed to stock them?" To which the reply was "Yes!"
