Yongnuo Speedlite YN465

I got myself a YN465 for Nikon yesterday by impulse, cost about php3800 at Avenue Hidalgo Quiapo. Reason why I went there is to return the 16gb sdhc card my father bought there the other day. 16gb is too much and scary for me, I don't want to lose precious pictures all at once because the card has died or images got corrupted. I got 1 4gb sdhc and bought the flash and offsetted the card cost, the 16gb costs php1500, do the math.

The flash swivel sideways to bounce at walls and swivel up to bounce on ceilings. Indicators are simple LED bulbs, no fancy LCD displays. It has two modes, TTL and manual. I heard that flashes recycles slower with rechargeable than alkalines. Well in my case costing is an issue so I'll opt for rechargeables. The hybrios and eneloops are rumored to be made the same way. Hmm I'm thinking of buying CDR-King for warranty. I have an old Uniross X-press 300, I guess no need for a new charger.
I've seen a Nikon SB-M flash in a little camera shop in Hidalgo too, php1800.
