The SB-800 is a great flash, but for the vendor to charge $899 for one is... from Amazon.com This is another Nikon item I've used for several years without a misfire. Years ago when I first became interested in photography, even before I obtained my MA in Fine Arts Photography I realized there were only two 35 mm cameras that had all of the features and support I was looking for. from Amazon.com I use my SB 800 with the X-Tender for every shot I take. Setting the flash output requires some understanding of incipient light vs. fill. from Amazon.com So if you have read Joe's book 'The Hot Shoe Diaries' and you have a Nikon then the next thing you did after reading the book was make sure you had a few SB800's (I wish they had not discontinued them) or SB900's, a few SB26's or SB600's and then you ordered this product the SU-800 commander unit. Why? from Amazon.com This thing is great! First off, if you have a Nikon D70s, D90, and maybe a D80 not sure, dont even bother with this thing. They all have internal flash commanders built in and they use the flash. from Amazon.com First of all if you want a general purpose, reliable, long distance remote trigger, you really should look into Radio Popper, Cactus, PovertyWizard, and such. Don't get me wrong, there's a place and time to use RP, Cactus, PW, and the SU-800. They all have their niches. from Amazon.com That is absolutely rediculous. I assume it's a type-o. I have this flash and enjoy it. Pick one of these up and 2 or 3 sb-600s from Amazon.com I have 3 of these flashes. They work great. from Amazon.com Best Buy price for this flash unit is only $389.99. Why is it so expensive on Amazon!? from Amazon.com Love the product. I don't think a person could go wrong with any Nikon product. from Amazon.com
