My Flash Nissin Di622

For about 2 years since i got my camera Nikon D40X, i just always use the internal flash from the camera. When i captured the photos outdoor, it is not a big problem as we still can use the light of the direct sunlight as the flash view. But when we take photos indoor where the light is not available enough, this is a big problem. THe result of the photos without external flash will be such under exposure and even going darken than the actual view. Sometimes, this made me sick on taking indoor photos.

After 2 night of thinking on getting an external flash. I am reffered by my friend to take some economical flash which can give us good uses. They said that Nissin Di622 is worthed to have on our photography equipments. It cost just around USD120 it is not cheap but it is not expensive too. The point that i got from their experience that using this Nissin Di622 Flash, we will get the quality of such as expensinve flash. It is WORTHED!

Finally, I bought my first flash Nissin Di622. I bought it for IDR1,450,00 about USD120.I bought it from Archa Photo on Plaza Medan Fair yesterday. I just made a test on this morning. I think the Nissin Di622 flash can give enough light from short distance and as long as i took, it can flash up to 10 metres. I am not an expert on this photography and i can not give such as detailed review on this flash but i can say that i am not regretfull to have this flash on my gears.

For such as short review, here i write down the information as detailed on the Nissin Website.
Highlights:
o Fits to Canon’s ETTL and ETTL II flash system and Nikon's iTTL Flash System
o Full automatic TTL control
o Auto power zooming covers digital camera lens of 16mm-70mm
o Easy wireless flash by slave synchronization
o Clip and Shoot, Easy to Use
o Wide Angle Diffuser

The Nissin Di622 Speedlite for Canon EOS and Nikon DSLR features a simple designed operation system recommended for beginners. It fully works automatically with your camera, just simply attach it, switch it on and release the shutter. Only two buttons to set all functions. You can enjoy off camera flash photography with easy wireless flash by slave synchronization. Place one or several Di622 at any place to lighten up or create the art of light onto the subject. Di622 is designed to synchronize with the master flash.

The lens is also able to offer quick and sharp tracing of the lens moving position. A high quality stepping motor enables to catch up to the frequent and repeated action of lens framing so that not a moment is missed. The flash can turn horizontally or vertically to match your shot. Anytime and anywhere, a blink of a flash light can create a lively shine, the Di622 answers by sharpening up or softening your subjects. Dialling a high shutter speed setting on the flash enables spectacular shots of beautifully blurred fast action movements in optimum lighting.

Packaged Weight: 0.55 kg.

One thing, i almost forget. There is no warranty card inside the Nissin Di622 Package. The seller said that there is no warranty on this product. Is this right? or this is just the seller tricks to gain more profit on their sales.

End of this words, i wellcome you to share your knowledge also your experience on this Nissin Di622 Flash. So that other can have information which they need regarding this Nissin Di622.

Thanks
