Great flash January 26, 2007
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
One of the features the SB-800 has that the SB-600 does not is Auto-Aperture. It has a sensor on the flash that can detect reflected flash in order to achieve proper exposure. I'm sure that in complex setups i-TTL is more accurate, but in informal testing it achieved the same results. Why is this important to me? No preflash! My wife has an extremely quick blink reflex that results in closed eyes when I use a preflash. Flash exposure lock is one solution, but my D40 doesn't support it. Even on cameras that do, it is an extra step to take a picture, and some people see the preflash and think you've already taken the picture.
The SB-800 also has a diffusion dome, gels, an optical slave, a little more power, and several other useful features that the SB-600 doesn't.
On the downside, the manual is really long. While the flash having lots of capabilities is good, it means figuring out how to do something can take a while. Read and practice before trying to take crucial shots.
Overall, I love this flash. Highly recommended.

I opened the box loaded the batteries slide the shoe into place, turned the unit on and began shooting. I snapped the light dispersion cap on for individual photos and to soften the effects of the flash. This is a very professional flash unit.

Positive feedback on the SB-800 January 9, 2007

I'am using the SB-800 with the Nikon D80 camera and I'am very satisfied with the performance of this speedlight (power, functionality, delivered accessories). I often use the remote function of the SB-800 (master speedlight = camera) to illuminate the objects not only from the front. For me, the only weakness is the operation instruction which sometimes make easy things difficult to understand.
