Pros: Solid, fast refresh, good price

Cons: Does not work with Pocket Wizards

Best Uses: On Camera works Great

Describe Yourself: Semi-Pro Photographer

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nissin 622 is a solid unit and fast refresh. They do not work with Pocket Wizards no matter what mode the flash was set for. They do work great if you mount flash directly on camera. Seems that there needs compatibility testing. I had no problems using the Canon 580 ex IIs. Pins are a mismatch.

Pros: Price and quality of the item

Cons: Not as tough as Canon flashes

Best Uses: All

A very good alternative to the higher priced Canon flashes. Very pleased with this purchase from Alzo and the quality of the flash. Not as robust as Canon equivalent but certainly does the job that is required of it.

Big Flash, small price

I was considering purchasing the similar Canon Flash, but wanted something a little less expensive to start. I am very happy with the ease of use and workmanship of this product. I am considering purchasing another unit for back lighting as needed, since it does work as a slave unit. Thanks for offering this product.

Pros: Great Price and simple to use

Cons: Does not work well as a slave unit. Not capable of being triggered with a wireless system.

Best Uses: As a single flash unit

Describe Yourself: Semi-Pro Photographer

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a great Flash unit for Money. Unit features a catchlight plane and a built in wide panel not usually found on lower end flashes. Nothing fancy about the unit just put your batteries in and your ready to go, no long manual to read.

Pros: Easy to Use

Cons: None

Best Uses: Any time you want to take flash pictures

The Speedlite NISSIN Di622 PORTA-FLASH - CANON E-TTL & E-TTL II, has really improved the quality of my pictures. It made it possible to do a fill to remove shadows and the unit has a built-in reflector and diffuser, which is really great. I would recommend this unit to anyone. The cost was very reasonable and the unit is worth what I paid for. The unit is very easy to use and the instructions that came with it are easy to read and understand.

Pros: cost, performance

Cons: lacks lcd display found on Canon 580 EX

Best Uses: general dedicated flash

Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This Nissin unit is promoted as "replaces Canon 580 EX". It communicates well with my Canon G9 camera, seems to be durable and well made, and the resulting pictures are nicely lit. It cycles quickly for the next shot, and battery life using rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries is good.

The biggest differences between this Di622 and the Canon high-end flash are the cost and the lcd screen display of flash-camera settings. The Nissin lacks the fancy display, but does have lights to indicate power output when used in the manual mode. For the money and performance, the Di622 clearly is a great choice.

In addition to providing a quality product, ALZO's customer service has been outstanding.
