Point And Shoot Camera Reviews

All right, you love taking photos but aren't quite ready for a DSLR yet. Not to worry, today we have some DSLR killers that you might not be able to live without.

Pros and Cons. With DSLR's you can get great photos with nice blurry backgrounds. You have many interchangeable lens options along with tons of accessories such a lighting ect.

Downside to DSLR's starts with price. They can cost you thousands of dollars including accessories. It is not uncommon to spend $5,000 or more on such a set-up. These cameras can also be heavy and bulky making them and accessories hard to transport.

Point and shoot cameras. You can carry them in your pocket, no need to purchase extra expensive lenses. Relatively simple to use.

Downside to point and shoot cameras they lack a little in creativity as you cannot control depth of field in most cases. Also you cannot photograph from very far away, such as trying to capture photos at an event, you just won't get the reach.

YN568 EXII High Speed Sync Test

 So you want to see what the YN568 EXII can do in high speed sync? Well you are not alone. The YN568 EX II is what is known as a Canon 580 EX II killer. It possesses almost all of the same features for a fraction of the price. Canon cost over $500 brand new, while the YN568 EXII is only around $124.00

High speed sync is needed when you want your speedlite to perform properly over 1/200 or 1/250 of a second depending on the brand of camera you own. You often need high speed sync when shooting outdoors during brighter daylight conditions. To see this type of flash trigger a manual flash not capable of high speed sync on its own I have made this video for you. It will save you both time and money. You will need the YN568EXII as a Master and a much cheaper YN560 Speedlite as well to fire off camera.
