best way to quickly shoot better photos May 12, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I own a D50 and mainly use it as a point and shoot beginner user, but this flash has made all the photos so much better - recommend people spend money on this flash rather than a better lens to see immediate impact of better photos.
The best flash! April 29, 2007

Great flash and the best there is to date on the planet earth! I like the LCD screen that gives us indications on camera settings etc. etc. My old flash is an SB600 and while it functions pretty much the same way, I prefer to use this flash on my daily grind now!
Does more than I know. April 17, 2007
I have owned this flash along with my previous Nikon SB-28 ( another fine, but not as versital flash). Using flash is not my first need, however when I need one I'm always amazed how easy and great it makes the pictures look. Very large 45-50 group shots evenly lighted corner to corner using a 24mm lens. Pop up the diffuser signals the flash for wide angle, has assistive auto-focus light. Fast recycle time, long battery life. Again, I spend alot of time and money getting to places to get the shots the people want. This item performs at a professional level. I guess you get what you pay for. There are alot of sub menus to access, you need to fuss some. Once understanding this system, the slave function and other modes for exposure , allows "you control" and isn't that what makes the photographer, how well one has control over the equipment being used to get the image one wants. The SB-800 is expensive and dedicated to Nikon camera's, so find out if your camera will respond to the various functions before you purchase

I recently upgraded to a Nikon D200 with the 18-200 Nikor zoom and purchased the SB800 flash to go along with the camera. As many people have stated in the D200 reviews its a great camera. What is amazing is how fantastic the flash complements the D200. I have only started to exploit the power of this flash but so far it is unbeatable. The camera, lens and flash all work together as a fantasic system. The exposure metering of the sytem is amazing. I have used it in full program mode and let the system do the thinking. The results were expectedly good. When I started pushing it more, for example putting the camera in full manual mode and letting the flash figure out how much extra light was needed it did not miss a beat. Similar amazing results were found with bounce flashes, diffused flashes, and even mulitple flashes per exposure to get a strobe effect. All had well balanced exposure.
There is a bit of a learning curve with the flash. For example, you have to learn what the different modes are, how they are represented on the LCD screen, and how to adjust them. Its not difficult but it does take a bit of time to become familiar with them.
All things considered, an amazing product that I am sure I will ejoy using for years to come.

I had thought for quite a while whether to continue to use my sb-28 or the sb800 before I finally bit my lips and went ahead and bought this thing. It has performed beautifully. I normally set it in fill mode and the color is so good compared with other flash pictures. I would encourage anybody with D200 to buy this.
