1 - battery life.. from my experience used nissin for about a year, it only can last for max 200 shoot for 4 pcs of fresh eneloope rechargeable batt and normally i will bring 2 sets of battery for a job.. now 4 pcs of battery can cover me for 2 job with no prob at all...
2 - cycle time - its take more time to cycle after a shoot.. its a wasting time if u are doing a job.. might be u will miss the moment that is very important during that cycle.. its hapends to me
if possible, try to get help from ur friend that used nissin n canon 580EXII.. compare it.. then u will notice it..
is compare with nikon and canon or sony for sure branded is better for the amount of $$$ you pay for. If you compare with other brand like yong nuo, metz, cybertik, they have pros and cons. It depend on personal preference.
how good is this Nissin Di866 MARK II compare with 580ex in terms of the features, not talking about the quality of workmanship and also the recycle time but the features itself....
