Great Companion to a D750

Perfect companion to my Nikon D750. I already have a Nikon SB-600 flash and only use it off the camera in remote mode, usually bouncing it into a cheap umbrella. always works great and wanted another, plus an upgrade. Right off the bat this 700 is easier to set up as a remote then the 600 with just the turn of a switch (the 600 is a bit complicated to set up) Recycling times are faster then the 600. Like the 600, this works flawlessly as a remote with the camera set to command mode. There is no reason to go with an off-brand because these Nikon flashes are powerful and work in perfect harmony with my Nikon camera. exposures are spot-on. So perfect and easy to use you'll want 2 or 3.Read full review...

Need to understand features to be effected

I received the SB700 flash a couple of days before a back to back wedding and birthday shoot a week apart. I was able to read enough in the manual (purchased separately) to get satisfactory results. Looking forward to working more with the flash and getting great photos.Read full review...

Ditch those cheap flashes and get a real flash, it's well worth it.

I know that it is so easy to try and save money and buy one of those cheaper off brand flashes. I know, because I did it. I figured a flash is a flash, it's just light! But there is a big difference, especially once you start getting serious with your photography. I currently use a D810, and was using some off brand flash with it. It worked but my images weren't perfect. I finally broke down and bought a real flash, one that's compatible with my Nikon D810. I bought the SB-700. And I have to tell you, that I kick myself in the a$$ for not buying this thing sooner. Not only is it perfectly compatible with my Nikon camera, but it is very precise! My images are so much better, the exposures are perfect. If you spent the money on a high end Nikon camera, don't cheap out on the flash! Read full review...

Nikon SB700 Flash - Great Build and Performance

I had been using some cheap (made in china) flash mount on my camera for awhile, but it literally fell apart into pieces. Then I decided the next flash had to have some great build quality.

The Nikon SB-700 was built solid and had a metal shoe mount. My friend was showing me all of its features and I was impressed right away. You could fully tilt/swivel the flash to your liking, it had a built in diffuser, and bounce card. The menu system was simple, pretty self explanatory on the buttons as well.

When it came down to the performance I needed, it was great at lighting up rooms or giving me something to intensify my subjects whether I'm using a telephoto or wide angle lens. It was tons of fun using it as a wireless slave. The level of creativity in my photos had literally opened up by leaps and bounds.

I would highly recommend this flash. Possibly a few of them even.

My only complaint would be that it weighs a ton when mounted on the camera. Get a tripod to keep your composition steady.

Love this flash!!!!

I am relatively new to photography and was using a cheaper flash unit. I thought I was doing well with it until I bought this one. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! You can never go cheap on these kind of things. This flash yields much better control of the amount of light every time. Plus the colors come out much better than the cheaper flashes on the market. I highly recommend this product.Read full review...

Great flash that powerful, easy to use, and can be triggered remotely by an SB 500 in SU 4 slave mode. Happy with my purchase!

Awesome SB 700 AF Speed Light

I had purchased a few years ago a generic flash for my Nikon camera & it had many issues with it not flashing when it was supposed to. This SB 700 AF Speed Light is amazing. I am very happy with it.

Easy fix, need Y000 screwdriver

This was an easy fix, once I got a set of Y screwdrivers, good thing I got a set, the smallest one (Y000) was the one that fit. Only 4 screws and 1 plug. Be careful, there is a small plastic plate that fell off and I had to take it apart again to put it back. Be careful with the screws, they are very small and easy to loose! Too bad Nikon did not make this "high stress" part out of something stronger than plastic!Read full review...

Perfect match for Nikon DSLRs

Picked this up after using an sb600 for years. More efficient to use, built in light modifiers handy for most lighting requirements. Coverage adjustment slider also handy
