Even better, the last generation will become ever cheaper. Who needs fancy strobes when you can buy 4?

The 560 II has exactly the same chassis as the Canon EX 580II. Guess they’re VERY similar also inside.

So, will my Canon 7D wireless transmitter fire the Yongnuo YN560-II like it does the Canon 580EX II?

  According to their site, yes.

    Thanks Chris. Sounds like this will be my second and maybe third flash to go with my 580EX II. I have been looking at the LumoPro LP16, Vivitar 285 and the SRs Strobie 130. But, it sounds like the Yongnuo YN560-II would be the best option. Any thoughts?

      I’m going to buy the Nikon version maybe next month because I think it’s a total steal and I need to build my Nikon system.
      
      My Canon system: I’m all set with all Canon units.
