Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

My Dad uses this everyday! He doesn't want to put anything on his nikons but the SB800!

I've been a photography buff for many years and have used many flash units. This one ooutdoes them all....in Spades.

Flash was a gift for my husband who just loves everything about the flash. The only negative is the weight....slightly heavy. But not too heavy to want another.

I am just amazed by the qualities of this product. It is very easy to use with my Nikon D40X. There are more complicated settings and features for more creativity, if desired.

I am a part-time photographer for hire. There are times when I simply cannot pack all my gears to shot at locations, therefore the two SB-800 are so useful to me. I have been very happy with the results and so are my customers. My only word of caution is that the SB-800 drains my batteries extremely fast. I use Energizer Lithium (4 AA for ~$9.00 at most stores). After about 20-25 shots, I had to replace them with new batteries. It's not that the batteries are drained or dead, but it is that the batteries are over-heated. You must take out the batteries and let them cool until the next session. At any rate, the SB-800 is perfectly suited for all your photographic needs.
