What Customers Say About Nikon SB-900 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras:
|

I guess if you have a monster pro camera like a Nikon D3 which you need a crane to lift as it is, maybe it is OK but I would give this flash the thumbs down unless you are a press or wedding photographer.I personally think that Nikon should be working on a nice general purpose flash redesigned with usability in mind, off camera remote capability and full head swivel but try to make it as small and inexpensive as possible. Also, as impressed as I am with it's performance, at the end of the day the SB600 is probably a better choice for people like me who aren't professionals. It is half the price, 120 grams or so lighter and much more compact.Mind you none of these flash guns are exactly compact but the SB900 is really the King Kong of flashes and really it ponders the question of what the limits should be on size and weight and price for a camera strobe. I've had my SB900 for several weeks now. Yes a redesigned and shrunk SB-600. It also comes with a full set of tupperware and plastic, gels, gel holder and diffuser. I experimented a lot the first week or so with it and was quite impressed, especially when used off camera.It is very well designed and easy to use. These items are really worth next to nothing to make but they can be expensive by the time you buy them separately.The downside really with this flash is it's size.
I usually build a studio on the go and this flash let me do all the work. This flash work as described by the manufacturer. The Nikon Lighting system (CLS) works flawless every time.
Beach Camera service was fast and efficient - and reasonable priced too. The SB-900 flash is a definite improvement over the SB-800.
Bad.very bad. Outdoors, in TTL BL mode where the flash is providing just a little fill light, it doesn't seem to overheat.This is a SERIOUS problem, and the eeprom update Nikon provided to fix the problem update won't work with my camera (D80), so I'm SOL. It's a great flash with great features. Too bad it overheats in less than 10 pictures when shooting in dimly lit areas.
I have not seen any of the thremal alarms that i read about before purchasing this flash but i can definitely see that it could because this flash is powerful. Recieved my sb-900, very quick. I highly recommend this flash. It works very well even when i am far enough away that i dont think i have a chance of making a good photograph. I am new to photography and thought a flash was only for when conditions were dark, WRONG. This flash has made great pictures even more fantastic.
