I've never used a speedlite before, and I stumbled upon the YONGNUO YN-460 Speedlite when I was "window" shopping online.

Factsheet

For around $40, would it be a good first speedlite or should I get something more reliable for a couple hundred?
Has anyone used this flash before?
Is it any realiable? I mean, for $40, I wouldn't be expecting much, but I'd at least hope it would work for maybe a year or a few.

I realise there are a couple comparison with other speedlites from a couple years ago, but it would be good to get some fresh opinions

Thanks
