Summary: 5 Stars
As many others have pointed out, just get this one! It is an investment for the future if you are serious about photography...Digital camera Review: Good all-round flash
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Good buy
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Good flash
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't have much experience of other flashes, but I am satisfied with my Nikon SB-800. It's a strong flash so if it is aimed at the target at indoor shooting the pictures will become very white. The best results indoors seems to be pointing the flash upwards and backwards, bouncing the light against ceiling and walls. Then the result is very good.
