Yongnuo 460 Speedlight for Nikon D40

I just wondered how good or bad something like this is as i really cannot afford a Nikon speedlight, does anyone use one of these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YN-460-Yo...0-D80-D70S-D60-D40X-D5000-D3000-/170788148287
Or are there any other flashes to look at ?

Whilst I can't comment specifically on the YN-460, I've got 3 YN-465 speedlights and can't fault them. No problems when used in iTTL mode (on-camera) and they're a doddle to use manually off-camera with Yongnuo triggers. For the price, they're difficult to fault.

The YN-465 looks good for the price but then for an extra couple of pounds you can get the YN-560, but are you just paying for the LCD display and does it work aswell as the 465 ????

To be perfectly honest, having decided to go down the Yongnuo route, I decided to steer clear from too many bells and whistles, avoiding push buttons for fear of shoddy micro-switches and LCDs that would probably fail the first time you used the flashgun. The YN-465 has a rotary dial for power and one solitary push button.

Truth be told, the build quality is excellent. Doubt I'll ever 'invest' in a Nikon speedlight.

i was thinking along the same lines, keep it simple and effective, going to order me one of the 465 and see how it goes at that price its worth a chance.
