If I use these for photography flashes -- why would I use the pro version instead of the regular ones? I'm confused as to how they are better

The pro version has just a little more power output. I think I would use the pro for that purpose, I got these just because of the battery life. The pro would just give you the next edge.

The Eneloop Pro have a higher capacity than the standard ones (roughly 2,450 vs. 1900, about 29% greater); all other things being equal you will get more flashes per battery change. Note that different generations have different performance ratings. In some cases the Pro are rated for fewer charge cycles, however; the Lite versions when available have even less capacity per charge, but more charge cycles.

The pro version has a higher capacity, meaning that you can take more pictures/flashes between charges.

I have the previous generation pro batteries, and can shoot a full-day wedding without changing the batteries (with an SB-800). They are amazing! I remember the days of carrying around a battery pack on my hip to run a flash and still had to change out 8 expensive (disposable) lithium batteries. What a difference.

I my opinion there is not an advantage. I purchased the PW 3 because I can use them with studio strobes and non Nikon flashes without TTL capability.

Sorry, I don't know. I have great results on auto focus, Closeup indoor with flash and action soccer shots, zoomed in outdoors. Tip: On the out door action shots, regardless of natural lighting, I ALWAYS use flash--I believe it shoots faster with flash on and stops the action better.

They are only slightly less powerful. In video mode, they don't last nearly as long. And, they don't have a memory chip that tells the camera how charged it is.If you shoot video, buy six or eight of these. They are incredibly useful, and for the price, they perform vey well. But if you are a professional, and have the money, buy canon oem batteries. If you're an amateur, just get a few. You wont regret it.

I've been using the Flash for two months with my Nikon D7000 and I'm quite satisfied with it. I'm using it for Macro Photography and I'm getting better photographs than with the Built-in Flash. Make sure your attachment shoe is clean as the connection is sensitive.

I didn't install one. As a result the frequency of flash is higher, which doesn't bother me. Do it if you want the normal flash rate.

I purchased two of these flashes to use with wireless remotes with my portable studio. They work great - but you have to set them manually for the intensity of flash you desire. I use a Canon Speedlite 420ex on my Canon EOS Rebel T2i so it integrates with the proprietary links built into Canon.

I just bought these not too long ago and I've done 5 photoshoots with them and so far so good the refresh rate was fine I never really had to wait to take the next picture and yes I use a flash trigger by yongnuo and it synced just fine for me so I hope this helps

I would definitely not get this. The light output will be similar to your built-in flash, but without the biggest benefits of having a hot shoe flash, like being able to change the angle of the flash.Save up and get the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The only reason I got the 90ex is because it is tiny and can be carried in a pocket easily in case the need arises to use on my 5d Mark iii which does not have a built in flash.

I didn't like the separate flash. My full review can be read here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R26ZBZOECUVLIA/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm.

They are built lie a brick outhouse. They just take abuse and keep going and going and going. for a hundred bucks less, you could get the Yongnuos, but for a full manual, completely reliable every time workhorse - this is the flash.

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

Honestly I doubt you can. They are pretty specific as to what they can be used on. I've tried them on several different flash units and from what I can tell, they only work on the units specified.

Please keep away from this flash. They make flashes compatible for every major brand names. I bought two of them. I got one for a Nikon and one for a Sony. They look so nice and light, but the problem is that you cannot use them for continuous shooting. They get very hot quickly. Both times when I tried them I saw smoke coming out of them. When you take pictures, you need to keep on shutting the flash off, and wait for it to cool off and then turn it back on. It is better to stick with the brand name than with this junk, believe me. Please keep away from it because it us pure trash.

The difference, as you probably know, is the SU 800. I have the SB-900 that I use and it seems to work fine, or I can use the built in flash on my D-800. I have never tried the SU-800 so I can not comment on the difference.

You should buy an X-Pro1 instead. It has the same specs as the X-E1, plus a sweet built in hybrid OVF. The only thing you use lose is a useless built in flash.
