Vivitar DF383 Digital TTL Shoe Mount Power Zoom /Swivel /Bounce Auto-Focus Flash for Nikon TTL, Guide Number 45m (147') Review

I am quite pleased with this flash. Integrates well with my Nikon D90.It does not function with Nikon's Creative Lighting System, but then it costs 1/4 the price of a NIKON SB-900.Plenty of power to bounce off walls and ceilings or use with a additional diffuser. The quality of your photos will improve significantly with almost any flash other than the small direct flash built into your camera.The manual and/or slave capabilities will allow off camera flash shots that will further improve your photography.That said, the slave funtion does not work well in outdoor situations where the ambient lighting is high. This is were the much more expensive NIKON SB series flash units will out perform this flash unit - remote wireless TTL flash control - I just can't understand why a flash unit SB-900) should cost more than half the cost of my D90 body.The D90 has significantly more electronic and mechanical technology than the SB900 and I'm sure the mfg'ing cost of the D90 is many times that of the SB900.

Nissin Di622 Speedlight for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras, Guide number 145 Review

I'm not a professional photographer so I really don't want to spend a lot for a flash. Then I read about Nissin Di622 which is manufactured by one of Japan's oldest camera flash manufacturers. As soon as I received this flash, I decided to compare it to my friend's Canon 430EX II which he highly recommends for my Canon XSi. So here are the reasons why I highly recommend this flash:

1) First of all, the price. Di622 is solidly built that cost almost half the price of the equivalent Canon 430EX II.

2) It comes with TTL (Through The Lens) flash metering system which you would normally find on a high end flash.

3) The zoom flash head can tilt/swivel and turn all the way back which I find a must have to create directional light shooting indoors by bouncing off the walls or ceiling.

4) Its also great slave flash. It synchronizes very well with the master flash.

5) It comes with built-in wide angle Diffuser and fill-in Reflector panel. I use the Diffuser a lot to create softer light.

6) It automatically enters sleep mode when it's not in use for 5 min and is reset with a touch of the shutter button or any button of the flash.

Overall, I find Nissin Di622 well made and equivalent to a Canon 430EX II. For the price difference, I decided to buy a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens.
