hi all
my good lady has asked me what I want for Christmas and as I have just started out in Photography she wondered if I would like some camera equipment.
Now, I have three lenses and a Canon 80D but do not have a flashgun, so I thought maybe she could get me one and have been doing a bit of research.
The obvious choice would be a Canon, but having looked there are a few others that are compatible with my 80d for full E-TTL, namely
Yongnuo
Godox
Nissin
and they are a lot cheaper than the Canon models
The Yongnuo's seemed to have a few problems with overheating and dieing which doesn't give me confidence
Nissin's seem to get good reviews, but do not seem a popular choice for whatever reason
Godox seems to also get good reviews and looking at posts on here they seem to be popular amongst the members
Is the Godox TT685C as good as it is cracked up to be ??? what if it goes wrong ??? I cannot find a UK supplier so I suppose a warranty is out of the question (unless someone knows different)
I do not want to go the Ebay route as I can see a lot of hassle coming if the flash turns out to be faulty, even after a few weeks.
Or should I tell her to just get the Canon from Jessops, at least I will have some comebacks if it does develop a fault
We get all the family and in-laws over the Christmas period so it will probably get used quite a bit then, kids, nephews, nieces and so on.
Suggestions and tips are most welcome.
