Title: Nissin Flash Help
Post by: stevebedder on December 26, 2011, 12:59:36 PM
Afternoon All,

Hope you are enjoying the festive period  :tup:  :beer:

I am finally getting round to ordering a new flash and have decided to go for the Nissin Di866. But the problem is which one, there are two which seem to have similar features and depending on which sellers site I visit they are named the same\differently. There is....

Di866
Di866 Mark II
Di866 Professional
Di866Mark II Professional

They all look similar, are priced similar and have similar features.

This one looks to be a newer model...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004S0OJA0/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_g23_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0T8ZF7T95DKV9XJ1DNAC&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128473&pf_rd_i=468294

And this one is the professional model but cheaper...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002A9IZ9C/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_g23_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0T8ZF7T95DKV9XJ1DNAC&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128473&pf_rd_i=468294

If I look on Nissins product page it seems to indicate that the Di866 Mark II is the newer\better model...

I've been looking at lots of sites and think I've got a bit confused by it all to be honest.

Can anyone advise as to which is the newer\better model?

Thanks in advance

Steve

It does appear that this is the top model. http://www.nissindigital.com/di866mkii.html  :tup:
