Product Information
Correct lighting is one of the most important components of photography for capturing great photos. Adequate light is arguably even more important than the camera or lens, without light there is no image. Increase the quality and clarity of even amateur photographs with the Nikon Speedlight SB-800 Shoe Mount Flash for Nikon cameras. For several types of Nikon cameras, the SB-800 has wireless remote operation via a built-in “slave”. The Nikon Speedlight flash can also act as the “master” or “commander” and control additional Speedlights allowing light to bounce around the subject area. Obviously, wireless operation of the flash is a major advantage. The Nikon Speedlight SB-800 features a reverse flash guide number mode on its LCD screen. This allows the user to set the aperture of the camera and the flash sets the level of light automatically based on distance. The SB-800 Speedlight has great power. Recycle time is four to six seconds depending on the type of battery and the number of times the shutter button is depressed. The Nikon SB-800 Speedlight can provide flashes for 130 to 150 photo shots dependent on battery. The Nikon Speedlights work on a creative lighting system (CLS, which increases the ease of use for the photographer. A component of this system is intelligent through the lens metering, or I-TTL or TTL, which are acronyms for the means by which the fash provides the correct amount of lighting for the subject and background when using this mode. The user can change the mode easily via the Nikon SB-800’s LCD screen. This system works with any Nikon camera using manual, zoom or automatic settings. The size of the Speedlight is 2.8x5.0x3.6 inches and it weighs 12.3 ounces empty. The user also may want to consider color gel filters for lenses that provide various effects for indoor and outdoor photos. The diffusion dome of the Nikkon SB-800 softens the light and prevents harsh shadows while providing adequate lighting of the background. One very useful function of the Nikon SB-800 flash for users who often take portrait shots is the red-eye reduction feature. This helpful mode is set on the camera, the flash and the camera work together to eliminate the red-eye. This Nikon flash also allows the user to create fun strobe light effects in a single exposure. With the many modes and options of the Nikon Speedlight SB-800 Shoe Mount Flash for Nikon, the professional or the amateuer photograher will enjoy a creative flexible lighting system for years to come.Product Identifiers

Great flash at reasonable price
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best bang for the buck as far as used NIKON flashes go ....
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Perfect Professional Flash!
This flash is great. All the reccommendations and referrals are accurate on this flash. It enables HSS and TTL capabilities which should be a requirement for anyone doing event photography. The recycle time is outstanding with batteries and this flash would be a dream with a battery pack. Also tested with wireless mode on Automatic mode and it was accurate on exposure. Highly reccommend this flash as it is the best built flash I have put my hands on. If it would happen to be dropped it would survive or be the flash most likely to survive. Nikon quality is built into this product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nikon SB-800
This, in my opinion is Nikon's best flash.. Smaller than the SB-900/910 series but puts out more power. Works with ALL Nikon TTL systems, TTL of film days, dTTL of the early digital era and the current iTTL. None of the currently produced Nikon flashes can do that. Another feature left off of the current flashes is the SU-4 mode. This not only provides wireless TTL function with film TTL it also enables a way of tripping the flash in manual mode with other, non-TTL flashes or studio strobes. Very handy if you have a TTL system or are using it in a studio or other multi-flash setup. I will probably always have SB-800's as the basis of my Nikon lighting setups.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good Speedlight, but batteries sucked
When I first tried out the product, the flashes were inconsistent and there was always a constant whine. As this is my first speedlight I was unsure if I was using it wrong or it was supposed to be that way. After getting frustrated and looking up SB-800 whine, I l finally found a forum that mentioned changing the batteries. Once I replaced the included batteries with some new ones, it worked perfectly. The device itself has a weird navigation but I have it setup the way I plan to use it (remote M and TTL) and setup is quick. I really wish they hadn't included the batteries as it gave me more stress than benefit and just lowered the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

SB800 for Nikon
I have 11 of these SB800 Speedlights I have been using them for years. You can slave the other speedlights to your camera or to one of the SB800 speedlight itself. I always use the speed light as the Master and slave 1-2 speedlights to that one. I use them to at every shoot. I love the way they bounce light.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Beat Nikon Speedlight Available and Made in Japan
Beat Nikon flash I’ve ever had and I’ve had most of them. This one is very well made in Japan. It’s big, but feels fine atop a Z6 to a D850, F5 or F6. I put it on a Leica CL as a joke, and it’s a little big for smaller cameras like my Leicas:) It performs even better when fired remotely. If you buy one of these, make sure you get one that has the orange and green filters. You’ll want those. But they’re still available new at big camera stores. The LCD and operating system are complex in that there are lots of settings and options, but in operation, it’s extremely easy and quick and intuitive to use. Go back to an older flash after using this and you’ll know what I’m talking about. There is no reason at all to get the SB-5000 instead of this one as long as good copies used are still available. The 5000s aren’t even available anywhere retail, and are not made in Japan like the SB-910. Save a few hundred bucks. Radio is the only thing missing from the SB-910, but I’ve never had the optical trigger come up short on me. If you want the best Nikon flash, this is it. Get the SB-910.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
