    For my purposes, this flash is a win! I am nowhere near a professional photographer but I do enjoy quality product which helps me realize my artistic vision. A longtime fan of Nikon, I have always had my eye on this flash. I saw the opportunity to upgrade when I went mirrorless so I took a chance. I have not regretted my decision. A very instinctual lens to use, I felt like I didn't need to read the manual too much.

    This is my 2nd flash & all time favorite. I am still in awe at how fast it is. I have had very few times where it didn't fire. I LOVE how easily it slides on/off camera & the easy switch lock is perfection. I was a little nervous that it would wiggle, that the switch wouldn't hold tight enough, but it's perfectly stable with no wiggle room. I use 3-4x a week for buisness (& photographing my 2yr old) & I couldn't be happier. Still performs like it did when I took it out of the box & have already had it 2 months. Perfect. Highly recommend. And THANK YOU Best Buy for price matching this item, giving an even better deal!! :-)

    Bought this for my Nikon D5100, and it works wonderfully with my camera. Pretty user friendly, considering this is my first external flash. Cost was great too. Would definitely recommend to others!

    I am by no means an advanced photographer but this flash is easy to use and I feel when I get the time to learn the more advanced features of both the camera and flash, this flash will continue to meet my expectations. I love how the flash can be angled up or down and rotated to meet different situations. The accompanying flash lenses and wireless features add to the flexibility and versatility of this unit. I was a little hesitant with the seemingly high price of the flash, but I have no regrets and have found no issues with the flash to date.

    What a great flash for the price. It’s not the top of the line, which of course is much better, as you would expect 2 times the money. This to me is the best bang for the buck. I’ll probably end up getting a second one for my external flash photography on tripods if I set them up as slaves to camera’s master flash control. It comes in a very nice case, has a diffuser, a stand, and some light filters. The reach is very adequate for what I do and the zoom lenses I use.

    I am not an expert in digital photography, but I am trying to learn more about enhancing photo quality being taken by my D7200 camera using the flash. There are many to choose from, but I decided on the genuine Nikon with a reasonable price tag. This SB-700AF fits the bill. It has many features and takes a while to get used to it. I am happy with this purchase.

    I’m still learning how to use all of the features on this flash, but I have to say, I loooove it. Makes all the difference on almost all shots. Incredibly fast turnaround, too. Wanted to get a cheaper flash but read how long between flashes, and I couldn’t afford to waste 4-7 seconds of time. Great upgrade!

    First bought it and thought it would be overwhelming to learn everything. Not the case as it's very easy to navigate and does a lot of the work for you. Especially if you're on TTL. I recommend this one 100% There are comparable flashes out there but as with any Nikon branded product they just seem to be a little bit short to what Nikon can do...and the price difference here isn't large enough to sacrifice having Nikon for another brand.
