> yongnuos does not have autofocus IR lights nor ttl

TTL and IR auto-focus. Also comes with a built in bounce card and diffuser. I like to use it as a bounce flash. It is big, but the resulting quality in low light is more than worth it.
Just do a search?

I wrote that FAQ entry and I think they're all good buys. Why would we bother listing something that isn't?
Godox also makes good third party flashes and are more popular recently, but I'm less familiar with their model numbers.
The Yongnuo YN-468 II for $87 has E-TTL support, and as a Nikon shooter is definitely on par with the Nikon flashes, and about 1/4 the price (looks to be 1/5 the price of the 580EX II.
If you're not aware, TTL = Through The Lens, and means that it is able to automatically meter the light and adjust the power of the flash in tandem with the camera to get a decent exposure.
If you've not done any flash photography before, then I'd definitely recommend a TTL Flash.
Otherwise, you can spend even less, and get the Yonguo YN-560 II for $71, which is a manual flash (I bought two to accompany my older YN-467 TTL flash to use as off-camera flashes). I believe the YN-560 II has a longer range (more powerful flash), but I don't think it will impact you in your situation.
You might also try looking at the Yongnuo 568EX or the Yonguo 565 EX which are intended to be direct competitors to the 580 EX2 recommended by /u/arachnophilia but I have no experience with either.
Note there a bunch of Amazon pages for all of these flashes, so hunt around a little and read lots of reviews. I love my Yongnuo flashes :)
