I am an aspiring photographer and less experienced with flashes, so I researched low cost speedlites and YongNuo among others seem to fit my needs as I am a uni student on a budget. The YN-468II for under $100 was a good compromise of features to price, and the TTL mode, auto zoom (24-85mm)and LCD was the decisive features for buying for my Nikon. I have been using the YN-468II for a few months and happy with the performance. While doing photo shoots for my uni projects I put it on manual mode (as I feel I have more control with exposure) and trigger it off camera with an RF from YongNuo too. The power seems good enough for my needs, however, a rise in ISO up to 400 (new cameras should be able to handle without much noise) lets you put the power lower on the flash with same results and faster recycle times - which is crucial for model shoots and a model is doing something good or right in a quick moment that can't be missed. One annoying thing I can only think of is that in auto zoom, it is sometimes unresponsive; to cure this, you have to half press the shutter release to wake it up, then it will adjust immediately to your lens... I think its just in sleep mode like the info in the view finder turns off and syncs its sleep with that. Also, having to press the on/off switch for 2 seconds before it turns on or off, but recently I have grown to this and probably is a good thing especially if the flash is crammed in a bag of gear and something presses the power switch by accident. I'm not entirely sure how to rate this compared to others as I only have another YongNuo the YN-460II which is almost the same but cheaper feeling, no auto zoom and TTL, no pc sync and no LCD just LED bar display. Despite the lack of the main features I bought the YN-468II for, I am very fond of the YN-460II as it has a little more power, great as 2nd or 3rd flash and the same manual and s1/s2 modes, all for under $60! I emphasise great for extra flash unit, because I think its good to have the option of TTL mode for quick shots for on-camera work, but if you don't mind taking one or two test shots and continual adjustments in various lighting, its fine, but for $30 extra you get a lot more versatility with the YN-468II(not to mention a modern looking LCD).Read full review
The title says it all. This is a well-made flash that costs one third of the price of Nikon's lowest-priced flash, with features that are more comparable to the Nikon products that are two or three levels above that (e.g. autofocus-assist laser, tilt and pivot, rear display). Feels nice and solid, nothing flimsy or cheap about the way it looks or works. Fully iTTL-compatible and works as expected in that regard. If you were planning to get the lowest-priced Nikon flash, there's no reason not to get this instead (though this is bigger and heavier, of course). If you're looking for something farther up the line, compare the specs of this with the Nikon flash you were considering -- if the specs match, consider this one instead.

Talk about a product YONGNUO is very easy as all are excellent, lightweight and proven robustness raising its usage time for several years. Have bought several products of this brand and always match my expectations, so I can tell everyone that this product line is very good.
I got what I waited. I'm satisfied with this flash. I'ive searched a flash what I can use at home, or sometimes at events too. I have used a few weeks ago the flash on prom in a sport arena. The power of flash was enough. The zoom could be bigger (18-200).
Great product, worthwhile. It's perfectly compatible with mi nikon D7000. I recomend buying rechargable batteries. It should bring a spanish manual but over that it's been a good purchase. I bought it because i needed to star using an economic flash and this works very well as well as its price.
