Now just looking at the above comparison of specs, what we on the surface is that the Nikon SB-900, unexpectedly, leads in many areas of performance and functionality. However, there are some important distinctions between these three flashes in the Nikon speedlight lineup.

Have not had an external flash before and have no further lightning habit. Using it on a Nikon D200. Have had it for two weeks and is so far very satisfied. In iTTL-mode, it is very easy to use. Pictures are great, thought that the running time would be longer.

I really like this flash unit. The reason is simple: it is small and unobtrusive. If you need a small flash that is a lot more powerful than the on-camera flash on your compatible Nikon camera, this is a great flash.

Powered by four AA batteries, this flash is amazing! It is a step up from the SB600 for sure, but not as good as the king of all flashes, the SB900. With the SB700, you have the ability to control other flashes, which is really important if you are getting into photography.

Love how one gets natural lighting instead of the harsh, cold lighting from th pop up flash. I have yet to learn all the features as I just received it. Love it so far, but it is a bit heavy.

Durable; Easy To Use; Fast Recycling; Powerful Output

Bulky; Heavy

This was a great product. One set of new lithium batteries lasts me for one ENTIRE wedding weekend, from rehearsal to the end of the reception. It is a bit heavy, though. Other than that, it was fantastic!

Attach Securely; Even Light Source; Long Lasting; Powerful

Heavy

I use it in conjunction with my D7000. It's like they were made for each other. There was some confusion as to whether I should go for a 3rd party flash or Nikon's own, and I decided to purchase Nikon's own - no regrets.

Full compatibility with most Nikon DSLRs and a couple of Coolpix cameras, but if you're shooting a film Nikon it needs to be an F6 to take full advantage of the flash's features.

Improved control interface; Compatibility; Good continuous ability

Lower guide number; Higher MSRP; Little compatibility with film SLRs

I just got this as a supplement to my SB -400 . I am a photo enthusiast who is not happy with my night shots with my flash. So far this gives better exposure than with SB 400. So far I am happy I don't shoot lots of night shots however the price is better than getting if from overseas even though...
