    Fantastic Nikon Flash!

    Fantastic Nikon flash! I never worked with Flash before and picked this up to do some headshots for coworkers. I wanted something compatable with my Nikon D7500 and almost professional grade without spending too much. This definitely hit the nail on the head. It was easy to learn how to use, I only took some time the day before to practice and the headshots came out great! It comes with all the small accessories you would need for on-the-go flash photography. It's durable and reliable, (I was never waiting for the flash ro recharge) and it lasted about 3+ hours on one set of batteries. Also, if you want to upgrade to a fully professional flash setup you can use this as a slave flash for dynamic lighting. This is definitely one of the best additions to my photography setup. Only downside is it takes AAs, but you can't beat the quality and functionality.

    Worked Great For My Shoot

    I purchased this unit for a night time shoot. I didn't want to over power the exposures and was able to ramp down the flash to use just enough power to light the subject without killing the background. I'm really familiar with all things Nikon, so it was not hard for me to figure out how to use almost all of the functions without going through the manual. This SB-700 is a winner for me because it can provide a LOT of light or just enough. What I mean is, I don't need to buy a small flash unit and also a big one. So, I am very happy that I don't need to figure out which flash unit to put on the camera when I can just use one for day, night, fill, etc.

    Great flash at a good price

    This my 3rd SB700. I do professional photography & I love having a durable but compact flash. I use it as a main flash or as a slave flash. I would definitely recommend it to others.
