I wasn't exactly sure going into this that it would work as it seems all the reviews and you tubes were used with canon products. I used this as an off camera flash with my built in Nikon flash system as the commander on my D7000 with awesome results. You have to figure out where the light (commander flash) needs to hit (which side of the yongnuo) first and then its a breeze to use after that. Easy to use, and adjust from the in camera adjustment screen. I shot manual mode on my nikon (as it was a sunset shot and i wanted to saturate the sky) then used the TTL system to adjust the light output on my subject, (banged it on the first shot with no flash compensation adjustments needed) with pretty great results. The menu system is a lot more refined and easier to use than my SB-800 which I paid 2.5 times more for. If I get another flash, which I most likely will, it will be this one. Battery life is pretty decent, A power pack port would be nice, but I did shoot three full 1 and half hour engagement shoots on one charge, but having the quicker recycle time would be nice. Still its not bad, if your not a trigger happy shooter. I did find a few drawbacks though, but they were minimal. First, the stand it comes with very cheep. I set my light stand down little harder than i should have and the momentum from the flash on the cheep stand broke the foot right off. On the plus side i bought a joby one that now stays on and streamlines my workflow. The second is that the case it comes with doesn't have a belt loop, I sowed one on in no time thought and now can carry it on weddings and engagement shoots. The last small complaint is that the lubricant they use for the swivel head does not work well in cold conditions. I live in Minnesota and when Im shooting outside during the winter, its a little hard to turn the head with. These are all pretty minor problems in an otherwise great flash however.Read full review

Priced more than 2x lower than a Canon 580EXII, but delivering the same amount of power. It comes features packed, but not without it's flaws. Firstly, the slow recycle times (for a flagship product) meant that it isn't for those shooting action or macro. I was trying to shoot a series of bubbles blowing out with this and it simply wasn't up to the task. Even Canon's lower end 430EXII performed way better. Secondly, ETTL gets eccentric at times. It would sometimes overexpose and underexpose on the next shot, even though the testing was done in a controlled environment with test charts and all the usual stuff. But it only happens rarely. Thirdly, wake up mode doesn't work 100% of the time. I took it to a wedding and it failed to fire in about 1 out of 20 shots (it had been sleeping for over 15 mins). It fired immediately at the 2nd shot. However as mentioned, it only occurs around 1 out of 20 tries. Other than that, it's not bad actually. No other flash comes close to the features/$ that the 568 have to offer. HSS, ETTL, S1, S2 just to mention a few, at this price point? It's a no brainer for those who just need it to fire every now and then, i.e wedding.Read full review
the perfect combination of price and quality. All highly recommend. Excellent purchase.

I now have two of these, I use the YN-622c to control them. So far they do everything my Canon flashes do,and, like my Canon flashes, I can spend my time trying different setting on the back of my camera,and quickly getting results, rather than going to each flash unit and doing the settings from there. The only thing I am a little on the fence about, is if it is better to have the top of the flash have a lock button. On the one hand, if I accidentally force the strobe to point at the ceiling,I could break the Canon flashes, But, on the other hand, when I use a heavy Gary Fong Diffuser, it will not stay at a 45 degree angle and drop.
I use a Yougnou 580 EX II for long time, I'm very happy with Yougnou and choose YN-568EX as my second flash. The product is fine produced and have all technical features I need, like TTL and HSS. Flash can be controlled from Canon 6D main menu and is full compatible. I would be nice if there was a external battery connector, but not big lack for me. If price is restrictive, YN-568EX will be a very good TTL flash choice.
