External Flash Recommendations for 5D Mark III Owners
Almost under all kinds of conditions, the performance of external flash is better than the inner one. Meanwhile, it is also more flexible, which is very important in many shootings.
Below are the contents of flash on Wikipedia. Flash units are commonly built directly into a camera. Some cameras allow separate flash units to be mounted via a standardized "accessory mount" bracket (a hot shoe). In professional studio equipment, flashes may be large, standalone units, or studio strobes, powered by special battery packs or connected to mains power. They are either synchronized with the camera using a flash synchronization cable or radio signal, or are light-triggered, meaning that only one flash unit needs to be synchronized with the camera, and in turn triggers the other units, called slaves.
For different cameras, there are different choices. I have some recommendations below for EOS 5D Mark III users,
SPEEDLITE 600EX-RT the flagship flash that published at March 2nd, 2013. It can be said tailored for the device. The biggest feature is achieving the transmittal mode of wireless. With bigger transmittal range, the position of the flash is more flexible. The guide number is 60. The biggest advantage is the original manufacturer product, but the worst part is the price.
SPEEDLITE580EX II is also the high-end external flash from Canon. Compared with the 580EX, the new one improves 20% recycling time, adopts durable light structure and metal mount. The biggest GN can be up to 58. Flash light can achieve the auto white balance according to camera. The surface has the feature of waterproof and dustproof, which helps it working well under harsh environment.
Nissin Di866 is one of the best external flashes. It has the function of custom TTL flash and support high speed flash synchronization. The highest GN is the same as SPEEDLITE 600EX-RT. It also equipped with color LED screen, which is very convenient for checking flash data. Another big feature is the USB interface.
Yongnuo YN565EX is the best external flash from China with the GN58, which can meet the needs of most advanced photographers. At the same time, TT1 metering can help the beginners handle it easily. Of course, the most important part is the high price-quality ratio. So it is perfect for the ones who want to try professional flash but short in budget.
