What can I say it's a Nikon! A lot less money than the SB 910. Smaller and less obtrusive than the 910. Works great. No overheating problems!

Flash works beautifully. I was shopping around and was going to get a budget flash but decided to spend the money and get the Nikon. It has worked flawlessly without issues every time. Very easy to use. If you’re out all day and using the flash bring extra batteries. The 4 AA’s should net you about 100-140 shots (depending on which batteries you use). The battery level is shown on the display.

Prosumer level. Speed light is well made and full featured. Relatively compact but packs a punch.

This is a fantastic flash! For the beginner, just put batteries in and mount it on the camera and you're ready to go. For more advanced photographers, there are a lot of features pack in this unit. The flash gels increase flexibility for various shooting situations. The bounce card and the swivel head add to the magic of this feature packed flash.

Huge upgrade from my SB-600, and it works well with my D7000 or D800. Shoots very fast when using NiMH batteries. In TTL mode, this Flash automatically recognizes your camera sensor type and any lens in use, and automatically makes the proper adjustments. Of course I have D800 & D7000 Nikon Cameras, but it is good to know that I now have a flash that optimizes the capabilities of my cameras without all that inconvenience of adjustments when ever I switch cameras or lenses. My only suggestion is to have backup batteries at hand. I'm a wedding photographer, and I usually shoot at a very fast pace, and even though I use NiMH batteries, I still carry an extra set. This is an excellent buy and I would recommend it to anyone.

Flash works as advertised, very simple to use with my Nikon D750. Very fast and flexible.

I bought a SB-700 previously when I bought my D7100, but I had to buy another one because my wife forgot her flash for a wedding, and we were too far from home. Thankfully the Best Buy in Biloxi had one. Awesome product thats hard to beat. It has a lot of great features that I've yet to use. The flash comes packaged well with a lot of extras (flash covers for various lighting situations). My favorite part about it is the ease of attaching and detaching. My wife's old flash was a pain to take on and off.

After buying a D750 and wanting a flash, this one was an easy choice. As a Nikon shooter for many years the question wasn't the brand as much as which model. Seeking a balance of form (i.e., size) and function this was the perfect model for the D750 given how seamlessly it works, its performance and most of all, the quality of the exposures.

It's very handy easy to communicate with mono lights if you don't know what your doing please read the Manuel to help you with most of the settings it has many features. It's more than a flash the only thing it doesn't have is a sync cable connection so if you have a wireless transmitter trigger you would have to buy a hot shoe separate but other then that it's best at what it does.

The directions are easy to understand and follow. The performance and ease of using this item wonderful undescribable. The performance of this flash Is awesome! It comes in its own case. Easy to travel with. It uses four double A batteries. It is a must needed tool for picture takers of all abilities.

This product definitely takes some getting used to ,as with any photography product, but overall its the best purchase for your money. it does an amazing job for me with a minimal knowledge of knowing how to use a flash. Awesome, sturdy, worth it.

Great flast that makes my Nikon D-5100 complete. The versatility of the flash makes flash photos 100% better and raised my overall satisfaction with the camera greatly. The colors obtained when using this flash are greatly improved.

my brother bought me one and it worked very well. I decided to buy 2 more so that I could work the nikon creative light system. Read the manuals, also look at YouTube videos, there's some minor steps missing, I suspect due to translation.

Bought this for a family event, it was a good choice, not bulky and easy to set up. Found the flash base to be fully compatible with any standard tripod when used remotely, which is very handy.

This is a great external flash for anyone getting into photographer, anyone already in photography and looking to experiment with lighting. Its lightweight, compact all at an affordable rate.

I took an online on camera and an online off camera flash course. The recommended the higher end Nikon flash so I could grow into it. For 60% of that cost I got a feature rich solution. Simple to understand and adjust.

I purchased the SB-700 AF Speedlight External Flash a couple of weeks ago. At that time, I also purchased the Nikon D7100 camera. Smart choices. Last Saturday, I shot a lot of pictures at Drayton Hall in Charleston, SC. It was a cold, dreary, overcast day. The ocasion was a memorial serv, so good pictures were important. Used the SB-700 flash outside and inside. Pictures turned out beautiful. I was so pleased that I had bought the SB-700 and the D7100. Fantastic pair!!!!!!

I have a D5100 and it works great with my camera. I have not tried many of the special features yet but I that it gives a photographer many options, and if you want to just point and shoot, it allows for simple operation for that.

I bought this speedlight to use with my new d7500 and al I can say it's easy to use and offers a great performance . Thinking of buying a second one !!

This is my first external flash for use on my first DSLR camera, so that hopefully provides a basis for where I am coming from with this review. The built-in flash on my Nikon D5200 is certainly better than nothing but this flash, the SB-700, literally blows it away. The light that this flash provides is amazing, and having the ability to bounce the flash off of the ceiling makes all the difference. And the fact that the flash articulates both up & down and side-to-side makes it so incredibly useful when shooting with the camera on its side (portrait mode). Another use for the side-to-side articulation that I don't recall reading about anywhere is when I am photographing something that is low to the ground, such as an infant crawling on the floor or an Xmas train setup. If the flash head only articulated up & down it wouldn't allow the flash to bounce off of the ceiling if the camera is pointed pretty much straight down, but because it rotates side-to-side I can rotate it backwards and then articulate it so that when the camera is pointing down the flash is still facing 'up' at the ceiling, pretty cool and very useful! I would not hesitate to recommend this flash to a friend!
