Love this for what it is...a simple, quick-to-use flash that fills in for the missing pop-up on my 850. Very easy to use, fits in my shirt pocket, installs quickly, turn it on and you're ready. Works well, has the added dimension of tilt flash ability... I'm very fond of my 300.

Love this little flash! It's light, small and so easy to stuff into a pocket and carry. In real world use, it's quite powerful not-withstanding its modest guide number. It integrates beautifully with Nikon digital SLRs providing very accurate through the lens exposure.

I am new to photography and purchased this flash to ensure great photos each time. This flash is quick to reload after using. Easy to attach and safe little pouch to store away.Cant fault

Very pleased with this its my very first flash for my camera and it is so compact and easy to use

With the weakest power output in this round-up, the SB-300 is one of two entry-level flashguns from Nikon (the other being the SB-400). Offering just a few improvements over the standard in-built flash, it's designed for those looking for a minor performance upgrade only.

Good

Nothing

The flash is definitey significantly brighter than the standard flash and has significantly improved indoor photos. I wish I had bought one awhile ago. It's tiny compared to some of the other Nikon flashes, so although it's more limited, it is very easy to carry around.

Bright; easy to attach; use; transport; only two AAA batteries required

Limited functionality; doesn't swivel left/right; no LED light for video like SB500

Huge upgrade from stock flash and bounce flash is a necessity. Even allows continuous shooting with flash under normal circumstances.

Great little flash if you want more power than your cameras built in flash. Also allows you to bounce the flash for more flattering lighting.
