What batteries are you using?

I am very happy with my Y460 for the price - works really well with the cactus V4's too.

Eneloops at full charge.

Ordered my YN460 last week and I can't wait for it to arrive.

Call me chicken, but I've already decided this $41 speedlight will never ever take residence on the hotshoe of my 7D. Wireless triggering only

They could be brighter.

Just had a look at them, for the price I might buy 2 or 3.
I never use the ETTL of my $500.00 Canon flashes anyway, so no point spending big money.

Guide Number 33 puts them somewhere between the Canon 270EX and the 430EX.

My YN-460 arrived today. I've had a short play with it and it works well so far. As a second slave, it will be just perfect. Just need to watch that 5 second charge time .. according to the manual, that is normal.

But hey, for US$41 (including diffuser and postage), I am really pleased with it.

Exactly, definitely no complaints for the price.
