Yongnuo YN-465 Flash Review.   by Andrew Dooley

This is review article for Yongnuo YN-465 where I'll discuss about the pricing, description of the flash , it's technical specification some of the most common DSLR cameras that are compatible with this particular flash model.

Yongnuo YN 465 Is Under $100.

If you're interested in buying a digital flash for less than 100 dollars your options are fairly limited as there is certainly nothing you could buy new from Canon or Nikon for that budget.

But no need to worry as there is a quite a decent TTL flash for under 75 dollars with an additional "M" mode for "strobist" photography on top. That's what you can get with the Yongnuo YN-465 flash.

The YN-465, the first TTL model from the Yongnuo ( I know the name is not particularly flashy, but who cares), is basically a TTL-enabled YN460. It is available in a Canon E-TTL (II) version or as a Nikon i-TTL model.

Both of these flashes are sold under the same name but are different technically so you need to make ensure that it's the right version for your camera brand when buying one of them.

Test mode: Press the PILOT button to test if the flash-light flashes normally. In M mode, the test flash will send light with different luminance per level of output selected.

Camera Compatibility

The Yongnuo YN 465 flash is designed in both Canon and Nikon versions. Some of the ausction and other sites do list these flashes under specific camera model, but in truth there are no sub version. So all the flashes designed for Canon are the same and so are the YN-speedlites for Nikon.

Canon Cameras:

The YN-465 is compatible with most, but not with all Canon DSLR cameras. Check the list below:

• Canon 40D 50D 350D 400D 450D 500D 1000D"

The flash is incompatible with old, film-based Canon cameras from the pre-ETTL days

Nikon Cameras

Overall, the Yongnuo YN 465 should work with all Nikon i-TTL DSLR from the D80 or later.
