I'm a Fujifilm X-T2 shooter and last month I purchased Nissin (x2) i60a and a Nissin Air 1 Commander. I'm looking to expand to 4 flashes next year.
Is there anyone out there that can convince me to stick with Nissin?
I'm in such a conflict.
On one hand:
- I want to support my local camera store
- I understand that Nissin has some longevity
- I LOVE the NAS system so far
- I really like the compactness and design of the i60a
- Nissin is supposed to have a new line up sometime after February 2018
But on the other hand:
- Every review I've seen say Nissin is inferior to Godox (B&H, Adorama, Amazon, YouTube, FujiRumors ...)
- I've read the Nissin flashes being faulty and just stop working
- I've read Godox being better and more dependable
- Godox is much cheaper
- Godox has way more options for lighting
- We've been waiting a hole year for the Nissin Air 10s ... and when it comes out we have to wait for Cannon and then Nikon and THEN Fuji unless Sony gets first dibs.
I just bought the Godox PB960 Power Pack because it was half the price and almost twice the performance of Nissin PS8. Also I can use both Transceivers at the same time (well ... with TTL off on the Nissin Commander)
So I'm kinda at a fork in the road ... Should I break down and buy the Godox transceivers and flashes or stick it out for Nissin?
