Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

You can do alot with this strobe, even studio shoots where you might ordinarily use a studio monolight or strobe setup. It is more intuitive to setup and use than the SB600, but it is a great master strobe to use in conjunction with an SB600. Being able to contol EV values from within the Nikon D300 is really nice. It comes with a diffuser and some gels. Good value for the money.

Should have bought this a long time ago. I have 3 sb600's and this works well for synchronizing them all together! I noticed it is a little heavy after carrying it on the camera for 6 hrs.

Good functionality, everything in place.
Good recharging time, but I would like it to be a faster when working with less than half load.

I got this flash to take pictures for my step-daughters wedding. The pictures turned out great for the cost. I don't plan on turning pro so I didn't want to spend too much money. I think if a "PRO" did the pictures, They would have a more powerful light system, But these (2) flashes did an excellant job. At least my step daughter and her husband liked the pictures.

If you're getting this speedlight (extreme overkill for most users but loaded with increadible features...as you can tell from the other rave reviews) then purchase it with the Delux ACC Kit. See my review on that page for why. It's definately worth it! And don't waste your money on the battery extender, it's included.
