Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is a great Speedlight for the money! It's easy to work and gives great results! Another great Nikon product.

I don't use the flash much, but it has come in handy on a couple of occasions so far. It is definitely helpful indoors. I'm just still learning on how to make the necessary adjustments. It is simple enough for even a novice like myself to make simple adjustments. A little more reading and I'll figure out how to take more advantage of it.

I have not had a lot of times to really use the flash to this point. What I have done with it I have found it very easy to use. It does seem to use the batteries very quickly. I think I will be looking into rechargeable batteries for this item. I love taking pictures for fun and have been looking at this flash for awhile now. I am very excited to use it more as the weather warms up and also when my Grandson comes to visit.

worked well on a 10 hour photo shoot . was very fast. Kept up all day! I still have same batteries after 800 shot.

This flash is easy to use and performs really well. It provides professional quality but it still doesn't feel like it should be the price that it is. I would say this would be a great value if it was $100 cheaper.

The speed light is quality. I used it for my daughter's broadway recutal and it performed flawless on my Nikon D750.

I am becoming re-acquainted with photography as a hobby beyond "just taking photos of the family". I prefer to shoot without flash, but there are times when additional lighting is required. The Nikon SB-700 external flash has allowed me to add the necessary lighting to capture the image. I love the fact that the head can be adjusted horizontally in addition to the traditional vertical position. While I have not fully explored the creative opportunities with this flash, I look forward to doing so.

Looking for a good flash for a reasonable price. This does what more expensive flashes does without breaking the bank

Flash works well even in low light conditions. It is easy to use and fills in light nicely.

Great Flash, it's very fast and powerful, very versatile and practical. Love it and definitely getting another one.

I really like this flash, and had coveted it for some time. It is the least expensive Nikon flash that allows you to get a ceiling bounce when holding the camera in portrait orientation. However, to be honest, it's a bit overkill for the average user. If they were to just include the swivel head feature on the SB-400, I would probably have gotten that instead for much less.

I wanted a name brand flash from Nikon as my main go to speedlight / flash. I chose this one as I'm a bit of a photography noob and couldn't tell you the difference between this and the SB-900 other than a large price difference. I have not run into any limitations as of yet with this flash, and it has performed great so far. I would buy again.

I use this flash with my Nikon D7000, it works great. I really like the flashes ability to bounce off of the ceiling. The built in bounce card is very useful. The flash has incredible power and has really improved my low light picture taking capabilities. The flash has enough power to take multiple pictures without stopping (the most I have taken is 4 in a row).

I wanted to get the more expensive flash but then decided to save some money and went with this one, and let me tell you, it works as it should, great results and very easy to use, but if you are doing heavy shooting let's say for the wedding you probably need the SB-910, it will withstand more shots per minute. I'm glad I could help.

I rented a couple different flashes to try out for a shoot I was going to be doing with dancers, and although this isn't the fanciest flash out there, I liked it best out of the ones I tried, especially for the price!

This is a great flash for a modern Nikon cameras. Works with the Nikon CLS to provide superior metering and exposure control. Comes with filters for fluorescent and incandescent lighting, to stop the super white flash that seems to ruin so many indoor night shots. Would like to see it come with the $11.00 SG-31iR, that would provide more creative control. Up to 4 SB-700s can be controlled by most cameras allowing for a super flexible studio lighting schema, with out all the fuss. Buy it and try it, best but has a great price on this.

This was such a great purchase. I love using it and it exceeded my expectations!

I like the versatility of this flash, from full to partial power, the flash delivers great lighting.

This flash is fast and powerful. Great for off camera and bouncing.
