Many people are afraid of flashes, and rightly so. Because a significant number of them comes with an armada of buttons and dials and lights that scare off beginners. Well, at least one company seems to have realized that it’s about time to make speedlight operation easier and more fun. And so Nissin’s new Di700 flash sports what they’re saying is one of the most simplistic and straightforward user interfaces ever found on a speedlight: a large color LCD screen accompanied by a control dial and an On/Off button. What less could you ask for?

- Focal length range 24-200mm
- Guide Number 50 at 200mm
