    Great flash for an experienced photographer. Very intuitive but just think the manual is over 100 pages. If you are lookin for just a point and shoot type this is not for you and at almost $600.00 you probably figured that out

    This is probably the best Nikon flash I have used since the SB-800. It recycles faster than the SB-900 and SB-910 and have not had any issues in the 2 months I have been using it.

    Great light for the still shots that we have to take. This lights is great as we have other lights in the room and this assist in blending them. Saves us a lot of time when we use this Flash to Blend the light.

    I was a little behind in technology with my SB 700 which is a great flash unit, the SB5000 opens a much broader reach in flash photography
