This speedlite does what I need it to do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I been using it for 2 months and I’m happy with the results, operating system is friendly use. The only thing that would be nice if it was a rechargeable, instead of 4 AA batteries. The batteries did last me through a 6hr quince photoshoot.

Worked Great For My Shoot
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Q: QuestionDo I need to buy an external flash for best pictures? I am a novice. I have a D5100 DSLR. Is the camera flash ok? Please advise. Thanks.
Asked by Anne.
- A:Answer It varies on what pictures you want to take. I personally never use the built in camera flash. Most built in camera flashes work well for your average flash needs, but I hate the effect it gives. To me, the built in flash makes the picture look flat, as well as its a hard light that shows oils and other imperfections. With external flashes like the SB-700 you have the ability to indirectly illuminate your subject in a variety of ways causing a softer, more creative lighting situation (having the ability to "bounce"). That's why I like external flashes. If you are just a novice; the SB-400 is probably the best way to go. Its a great little flash as well as cheaper then your average speed light. It also has bounce capabilities in 4 steps up to 90 degrees (even though its not 360 degrees of pure swivel like the SB-700 its a great flash). Its light, small, and easy to use all while giving you great pictures when a flash is needed.
