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

I got this flash to take pictures for my step-daughters wedding. The pictures turned out great for the cost. I don't plan on turning pro so I didn't want to spend too much money. I think if a "PRO" did the pictures, They would have a more powerful light system, But these (2) flashes did an excellant job. At least my step daughter and her husband liked the pictures.

If you're getting this speedlight (extreme overkill for most users but loaded with increadible features...as you can tell from the other rave reviews) then purchase it with the Delux ACC Kit. See my review on that page for why. It's definately worth it! And don't waste your money on the battery extender, it's included.

Very happy with my purchase.

Well built and works seamlessly with the D300.

This flash has worked great with my Nikon D70, but is slightly large for casual use. Very powerful and exposes pictures extremly well. Great for bouncing flash from ceilings. I would rate higher, but when this flash is mounted on the camera, it's really top heavy and difficult to carry around with a strap so I use it far less than I would like to. Would prefer something lighter and maybe more innovative in being able to get the same effect with something smaller/expandable when needed maybe.

I have an SB-400 which works fine as well. But the SB-600's ability to operate stand alone off camera and use the Nikon creative lighting system just makes it phenomenal!
