 After releasing the YN 560 III Yonguo announced another flash model with some more features the YN500EX.The YN 500 EX is their second attempt on the HSS compatible flash market, but this time it comes with a bit less power 53GN.  The new flash is pretty much similar to the YN568EX : -Full manual control. -Wireless options – S1/S2 optical slave, and can be used as a slave with Canon wireless system. -Smaller design – YN500 EX is looking a bit smaller compared to its bigger brother the YN568EX .LCD is smaller and the buttons looks more close together. -Buttons design – a welcomed upgrade with the YN 500 EX is its new button design, they are larger and backlit, very helpful while trying to manage the flash in dark places General thoughts about the YN500EX: Power issues -The new model has a bit less power compared to the bigger YN568EX. This power drop makes it less effective especially in its main feature, who is the HSS modes. Going for the 500EX and not with the 568EX just for saving
