Review: Rokinon D900AFZ-OP Flash (Four Thirds/Micro Four Thirds)
The Rokinon D900AFZ-OP is a TTL flash designed for budget level users that don’t want the hassle of having to figure out calculations in terms of flash output, exposure, etc. The one I tested was designed for Four Thirds cameras, but the TTL algorithms translate right over the Micro Four Thirds language (and therefore, both Panasonic and Olympus.)
Read one to see why this flash was recently chosen in our best budget flash post.
Review: Phottix Odin TTL Wireless Radio Triggers for Canon DSLRs
Previously, we did a hands on review of the Phottix Odin TTL Radio Triggers. After shooting different portrait sessions and two trade shows with the units, I’ve learned them backwards and front. Being marketed on the internet as a more user friendly option to Pocket Wizards but at a more affordable price, do the Odins really have what it takes to earn a place in your camera bag?
Hands On: Phottix Odin TTL Wireless Triggers for Canon EOS (Test at New York Comic Con 2011)
I’ve had the Phottix Odin Wireless TTL Triggers for less than a week now, but they’ve quickly turned into something that I need to have in my camera bag with me at almost all times. Recently, they saw lots of action during my visit to New York City Comic Con 2011. So how have they held up so far? And are they better than the Canon wireless flash system?

Review: The Nikon SB-700 Flash
The Nikon SB-700 (also known as the SB700 in some circles) was released last year in September and it couldn’t have come any sooner. The SB-600 that it replaced was not intuitive to use, and had a more limited range. It replaced the aging SB-600 (SB600) and gave amateurs and aspiring pros more features, and an easier to use interface. This flash is targeted towards consumers and prosumers. It costs $330 so it is about $120 cheaper than the SB-900 (SB900). If you are a full time working pro and need the best then you would buy the SB-900. I have owned my SB-700 since January 2011 and I have thoroughly enjoyed using this flash.
If you are in the market to purchase a flash I would seriously recommend the SB-700. Its compact size, enhanced interface, and ruggedness make it a great flash for its price. Read on to get more details on this great new addition to the Nikon flash line.
