Both the SB-5000 and the SB-910 are compatible with the D7100, and either would be a good choice for this camera. The SB-5000 is Nikon’s newest Speedlight, and replaces the SB-910 as our flagship Speedlight. The SB-5000 Speedlight features a new internal cooling system, which prevents overheating of the flash panel from consecutive firings. As a result, the SB-5000 can fire consecutively for longer than conventional models, without flash cool-down time between bursts, and can fire up to 120 continuous shots at 5 second intervals. The SB-5000 is also smaller than the SB-910 and features more streamlined controls. The SB-5000 and the SB-910 are both part of Nikon’s Creative Lighting System and can be triggered remotely (optically) using the D7100’s built-in flash. The SB-500 also features a radio control option, but this feature is not supported by the D7100.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ed, I purchased the 5000 for my 7100. Works amazingly well and nearly the same functions as the 910 with a savings of $200.00 if not more. The questions I want to ask you are: 1. Are you a professional? 2. What is the level of you photographing knowledge? I would go with the 5000 unless I had $200 I didn't need. Hope this helps.
