Re: New Flash - SB-900!
Firmware update feature is interesting, except that it's through the camera, and not plugging in a USB cable like Metz.
About time we got a hard switch for on/off, remote, and master. I know I've had instances where I wanted to just stick the -800 in the hotshoe for a shot and had to fumble with the buttons to switch it out of remote mode. SU-4 mode automatically changed back when it detected the camera, but remote mode didn't. |

Re: New Flash - SB-900!
We'll order a couple of those flash units.
Of course the time will be right to pick up a few good used SB800's .... |

Re: New Flash - SB-900!
For $500 we get four gels instead of two...
My roommate was talking to me yesterday on how the back is really cluttered. I'm willing to give it a chance, and I like the idea of the hard switch for modes, but for $500 I think I'm going to keep shooting with my SB-800's for now. New battery pack is interesting, but what is that little threaded knob in the image with it? |

I'm "stuck" with Sb-800's as my current SD-8A bat pack won't work with a SB-900. I really wish Nikon would keep backward compatibly....seriously....I don't need several hundred dollars in battery packs... getting an SD-8A was like pulling teeth to begin with...very hard to come by. __________________
