This flash is great for doing high speed sync and TTL flash photo. I use it with my Nikon D800 and D4 and get great results. For quick results I use it mostly as a bounce flash off White walls. If the wall is colored, I use a softbox modifier or the built-in reflector card. The TTL is great in most cases with few exposures requiring flash compensation. This flash works on all digital and film camera and it's only limited by the camera's functionality. It's a great flash at a good price if can be had for $200 or less. I got mine for $150 plus. I love this flash so I have three.

Best value for used Nikon flash today. You could probably get 2 of these used for a price of one used SB910. They are reliable, and durable. I bought 3 used on EBay and use the heck out them. All still working fine. More compact than SB900 series and just as bright, cheaper and just as useful as SB700 series and better and more feature laden than SB600.

I have shot with an array of Nikon brand as well as after market flashes and this SB800 is the one I have come back to and have purchased one for each of my three Nikon DSLR camera outfits as well as one extra as a back up; and they have all been bought used on Ebay. This flash just keeps on firing. ( I do have a Quantum battery power pack hooked up to it to get me more flashes). It makes my "slow" lenses work about as well as my "fast lenses. I shoot a lot of night time dirt track racing, and I have yet to shoot this flash on full power! Plus it is very easy to sync 5 flashes together for a great studio light set up as well. Just a great hot shoe flash! Thanks Nikon and to Ebay.

Works great with Nikon d700. Really improved my shots. I like how you can angle it. Just what I was needing.

I have yet to be burned buying any gear off of ebay, however in these times any place you can save a few dollars is good. Doing digital event and wedding photography, SB-800's are the standard and while I have many lights available to choose from,this is the first choice. With the right diffuser they will mimic studio lighting and for the limited punch SB-800's have it suits digital photography just fine. It does have some limitations for every situation, but you can't beat its on camera portability and decent recycle time. Having to shoot alone with one light and moving around there is no way to do it lighter or faster. Not having to carry a heavy power pack or crazy flash bracket, even better. The unit I just got was missing a case and the extra battery holder. The book is avalable online so its not killer. Still I saved a few dollars but you have to be watchful as many people seem to drive the price up, why who knows. If it had a little more power I'd rate it higher, thats for the SB-900 though.Read full review
