This is the best flash I have owned. Combined with my Fuji S3Pro my images are well lit with excellent highlights and shadows. I can dial the flash in for each subject and not worry about blown out hot spots. I give this Speedlight my highest rating.

I am using this speedlight with the Nikon d200 camera and it works very well at both closeup and faraway scenes. I also own an older SB-80dx and the SB-800 is much easier to use. I now use the SB-800 as the main speedlight and the SB-80 as the wireless remote unit and they work well togeher.
Great flash, but the manual needs work June 28, 2007

Very nice flash. I have had it for about 1 week and have tested it indoors and outdoors. I can immediately tell the difference in the photos - particularly indoors. Red-eye has been eliminated and the ability to bounce the light off the ceiling really gives an interesting ambience to the pictures. It is quick and the display is easy to follow.
I have a Nikon D80 and the built-in flash was not giving me very good pictures in my house (we have a lot of intense can lights which give a 'spotlight' effect, but also cast harsh shadows on people's faces). Also, most of the time I am trying to take pix of two young boys (under the age of 5). Challenging lighting and subjects that will not sit still make for difficult photographs, hence the need for a DSLR and, ultimately, the Speedlight. This flash has been great - charges quickly and doesn't seem to blind the kids. That is important.
Only two complaints:
1) It is heavy. I'm not used to using a DSLR or external flashes, so it does take some getting used to. (I was always using a pocket sized point and shoot camera prior to upgrading)
2) The manual is confusing. I tried reading it page-by-page for a few nights but that was useless. Instead I just started taking lots of pix and experimented indoors and outdoors. The flash unit itself is pretty intuitive to use and now I only refer to the manual when I have a question. I would have given this 4 stars if the manual was more helpful.
Bottom line: I'd recommend it to anyone. Definitely worth the money and the improvement in my photographs.
Skip the SB-600 and buy the 800 June 19, 2007

This flash is excellent, powerful, cycles fast and does a few interesting new things with the D200. My favorite thing to do is use the SB-800 off camera and trigger it with my in-camera flash.
