5 out of 5 stars Good all-round flash   June 15, 2007
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The SB-800 is everything you can ask for in a general-purpose flash. Lots of candle power with a guide number of 125 at 35mm. The head tilts and swivels for bounce flash. There is also manual, TTL and thyristor operation so that the flash will work with almost any SLR or DSLR with a hot shoe. Of course it works best with Nikon's TTL metering and wireless flash system. Nikon even throws in some filters and a diffuser dome. Price is a bit less than the comparable Metz 58 AF-1.


4 out of 5 stars Good buy   June 12, 2007

I bought this after struggling to make the SB27 (from my film days) work with Nikon D70. The built in flash served the purpose for casual photos, but left a lot to be desired. This works well and the initial photographs taken in the last one week are wonderful, even closeups.

While I did my bit of comparison with SB600, considering my future camera buy probably D200 or later, I felt the investment was good.

Recommended.



5 out of 5 stars The Best Speedlight for Nikon Digital   May 22, 2007

For a professional digital Nikon photographer the power and flexability of an SB-800 is one of the elements required.


4 out of 5 stars Best flash I've ever owned!   May 14, 2007
 7 out of 9 found this review helpful

Using the SB-800 was beyond my expectations. It does everything and more. The bounce features are especially nice and produce professional results everytime. Using the remote wireless flash using my D70 was so easy that I think even a child could use it. Have owned it for over a month and have never experienced any problems. Great, quality product as all Nikon products are.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome flash   May 14, 2007

This flash on a Nikon camera using iTTL (through the lens automatic) makes great pictures. The flash is very powerful, automatically adjusts to the width of your zoom lens (up to 105mm) and is one of the reasons that Nikon is so well known for being the wedding photographer's choice of camera. It's a superior system to anything out there on a capable Nikon (I use a Nikon D2Xs and Nikon D70s, a Mamiya 645 Pro TL and a Zenza Bronica ETRS II, but everyone with a D40 and up will love this flash).
