5 Stars Fantastic Addition to Your Nikon DSLR
I bought my Nikon D5000 because I wanted to take the beautiful, lifelike pictures that DSLRs are famous for. After shooting for a few months with my camera, it became apparent to me that although the camera was better with low light situations than traditional point and shoot cameras, it was not giving me lifelike shots in lowlight. So I experiemented with the on-board flash and I’ll be honest, the results were NOT pretty. So I invested in this flash.

After four months of using it, I don’t know how I ever did indoor photography without this flash. It gives indoor pictures, even those done at night with low light, a natural look that mimics the colors and shadows you see with the naked eye. I’ve used the flash to take pictures of people and of objects, and the results are great. It’s easy to adjust the amount of light the flash “flashes” to suit the lighting you have on hand. I’ve only done some test shots outside, but overall I’ve been happy with the results. The flash talks to your Nikon camera body, and if you are using Nikon lenses the flash adjusts for your focal length and the distance your object is away.

I’m still learning tons about this flash and all of the options it offers for shooting. But overall, I couldn’t be happier with this product. I’m not a professional, but rather an amateur with a lot to learn about photography. But this flash is easy to use even for the amateur and will improve your indoor and low light photography and help you to get the pictures you wanted with your DSLR.

5 Stars Very good
Very good flash. Does just about everything.

However, note, that it cannot be used as “Commander” when used on the camera’s shoehorn, however it can act as slave remotely when using built in flash as commander or using the SB-900 as commander. This doesn’t matter for 99% of people, but if you’re going to set up a shot using multiple flashes and ligths you’ll need to use the built in flash as commander or have the SB900. If you only have one flash, get this one instead of SB900. If you ever decide to get two or more then you can get the SB900 as your second one.

5 Stars excellent flash for $
This is an excellent flash for the money. I have it on my D90, and it adds perfect lighting for either 90+ mm or short range 30mm. The flash can be moved 90 degrees vertically, along with 180 degrees horizontally for vertical pictures. I would recommend a flash diffuser as well. Rechargeable lithium batteries have less than a second recharge time for the first 70 pictures, and then it drops to 2 seconds. Normal batteries don’t do it justice for quick “flash ready” status.

3 Stars …BUT IT DOESN’T SWIVEL ALL THE WAY!!!
This flash could easily be perfect. It’s well built with a metal shoe. It has a honest guide number of about 100 (ft). It zooms up to 85 mm. It works great in TTL mode, on camera or off camera as part of Nikon’s CLS, or as a manual flash triggered via the shoe (a PC would make it even nicer). Battery life and recycling times are good. To bounce backward you have to tilt your head a bit, because it’s so small, but you can make it work.

Now I belive there is a big advantages (among others) in modern digital flash photography over traditional flash photography, and modern speedlights should be designed according to that: If you are indoors, you can use almost anything as your light source – ceilings, walls, windows, furniture – by bouncing the flash, giving you softer and more directional light. The modern TTL systems adjust very well for changed flash distance (through bouncing), you may only need some fine tuning. Direct on camera flash with harsh shadows is no longer necessary indoors, and I feel it is also no longer acceptable.

Therefore one basic requirement for a modern on camera flash is, that you can tilt and swivel it in all directions. The best wall to bounce your flash off might just be behind you and to your right. Unfortunately this flash only swivels from 6 o’clock to 3 o’clock. The 90
