Nikon SB 800 Speedlight Hot-shoe clip-on flash

Speedlight SB-800 is the foundation of the new Nikon Creative Lighting System for the Nikon D2H digital SLR. The new i-TTL Flash Control system supports automatic balanced fill... more...flash that delivers outstanding results as well as new creative possibilities. i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash flash control employs Nikon's new Advanced Data Communication system to introduce an improved method for the monitor pre-flash and wireless operation that marks an evolution in higher precision over Nikon's acclaimed D-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control system and forms the core of the new Creative Lighting System. The Nikon Speedlight SB-800 makes Advanced Wireless Lighting as easy to use as a single on-camera speedlight, inviting professional and advanced amateur photographers to explore the unlimited creative possibilities. Advanced Wireless Lighting lets you divide SB-800 Speedlights into 4 groups, including the Master and 3 remote i-TTL speedlight groups, to achieve total lighting control. All groups can be controlled from the Master, including independent flash mode ([TTL] / [AA] / [A] / [M]) settings and any-time adjustment of flash output level compensation values for each group. Each of the three remote groups can contain any number of Speedlights, giving photographers full control over how they illuminate the background. With new Distance Priority Manual Flash Mode, the photographer can set the distance and aperture, and the SB-800 automatically sets the power output - a great feature for manual flash [M] shooting at weddings and for product shots. The new FV Lock (Flash Value Lock) maintains the flash value for correct exposure of the subject while zooming or otherwise changing the composition for a shot, so photographers can concentrate on lighting a particular subject. New Auto FP High Speed Sync Mode provides ample fill-in flash when shooting in bright light with fast aperture lenses to achieve effective blur in the background. When the mode is active, the camera automatically uses high-speed flash synchronization to make shutter speeds available that exceed the camera's own flash sync speed. A new Modeling Flash allows photographers to visually preview the lighting effects for all groups of speedlights when using Advanced Wireless Lighting to shoot with multiple flash units, a great aid in achieving the exact lighting desired.

I am a professional flasher and proud of it!!

Advantages: High powered and very versatile.
Disadvantages: There are no real disadvantages to talk of.

...for our DSLR`s like the Nikon SB 800, whilst this is nowhere near the top end of the range of flash units it is a very good unit and does a terrific job in most circumstances. This type of flash unit works in a few ways, it can either be fitted to the top of your DSLR camera by what is known as the hot shoe which you will find either directly above the cameras pop up flash or where you would expect the flash to be if your DSLR does not have a pop ...
...using this flash with a Nikon camera like it was designed to be used with you can even adjust the flash settings from within the camera which is handy if you have chosen to mount the flash on a light stand as you don't want to be having to interrupt the shoot to keep adjusting your flash. This flash unit offers the photographer real versatility and will work with a wide range of Nikon cameras and even a few other DSLR`s but the best performance ...

Review of Nikon SB 800 Speedlight Hot-shoe clip-on flash

Best Nikon Flash I've used.

Advantages: Perfect for Nikon D2H, extra battery holder for faster recycling
Disadvantages: only for Nikon

I use Nikon digital SLR's for work & we purchased some of these when we changed to Nikon D2H's. The SB 800 work extremely well with the D2H & gives the best results I've seen so far on a Nikon speedlight with a Digital SLR. The settings are logical & quick to adjust & the extra clip on battery holder speed recycling for the odd occasion you need a bit extra. We have had a couple repaired (one "feell off" the roofd of a moving car & only needed ...
