NIKON SU-800 Speedlight Commander Flash

$252.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it does a great ob of changing settings as your shooting event changes.
from www.amazon.com
i recently used it at a convention, think i will love it more once i get used to all the custom settings.
from www.amazon.com
however it is very expensive, and the older pw units don't have ttl so if you don't set your power setting correctly the first time you end up having to walk to/from different flash units to change
from www.amazon.com
if you're getting this speedlight (extreme overkill for most users but loaded with increadible features...as you can tell from the other rave reviews) then purchase it with the delux acc kit.
from www.amazon.com
the camera balance is certainly compromised to a degree, but you can get use to it.

Canon Speedlite 430EX Flash

$337.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.adorama.com
great product, excellent backup flash or for main usage, canon flashes are very reliable and this one have great features and outstanting output for its price.
from www.ritzcamera.com
the right flash can make or break any photo, and this one allows you to use it both automatically and manually.its features may be a little overwhelming for a person who is new to photography, but
from www.buydig.com
i am a little overwhelmed with the manual settings but it is so smart it makes even the ignorant look good.
from www.buydig.com
the flash automatically adjusts the white balance and gives you the flexibility of aiming the flash indirectly, producing better lighting overall.
from www.amazon.com
it's a phenomenal unit that syncs with all the features of the g9 and provides fantastic illumination at some of the distances i've worked in.

Nikon SB-400 AF Speedlight

$89.00 Est. at Amazon

from www1.wolfcamera.com
i also noticed that i need to upgrade to a inferred auto focus, so i can actually use it at night, because it is horrible for low light settings.
from "Basel", www1.cameraworld.com
great for people who want more than the built-in flash can offer, but without needing to be a programmer to use.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
but for more features and fast actions, get the sb-600 or better yet the sb-800.
from www.buydig.com
i took portraits of my dh trying the various settings--straight on and with the flash bounced.
from www.buydig.com
this can easily be fixed with photoshop or any other number of photo editing programs.

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash

$366.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
- the white balance is never quite right for me, it's always far too warm for my taste.
from www.amazon.com
and the difference seems less now, so keep that in mind.) the 580ex is overall a better unit with the additional features and if the price is not a major factor to you, it is probably worth getting.
from www.amazon.com
what can i say, it's a canon, well made, works as expected, plenty of features.
from www.amazon.com
previously, when shooting in low light settings, the camera/lens would struggle to focus and the flash would emit several highly annoying test flashes.
from www.amazon.com
my favorite feature is the white balance compensation.

it may take some time to get used to all the features of this flash, since this little flash has so many features.
from www.pricegrabber.com
the command wheel is nice to change settings, but it is a little confusing in the back and forth between what button to push for what setting.
from www.pricegrabber.com

Nikon Speedlight SB-600 TTL Flash

$294.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.walmart.com
the product works right out of the box and is so versatile that i'll probably never use all its features.
from www.walmart.com
i didn't need all the features of thepricier sb-800, so the 600 is perfect for me.it is well made, as one would expect from nikon.so far, it works like a dream, also to be expected from nikon.
from shopping.msn.com
i'm using it with a film slr so i can't take advantage of all the features until i get a digital.
from www.ritzcamera.com
it would be nice to have a basic sheet to say what settings or ways to use it.i did have a few bad shots initially due to a manual setting being added while playing with it.
from Hayes666, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: quality & features weaknesses: weight & size summary: this a great flash to have...it's a must have!!!

Olympus FL-50 TTL Flash

$579.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
just set the flash to one of the auto modes (ttl, etc...) and it reads your camera settings and provides just the right amount of light.
from www.amazon.com
it is so powerful in small settings, that i definitely have to use a diffuser so as not to create shadows.
from www.amazon.com
that's all there is to it - no more power, no more features, works with the existing flash system and is future proof to the e3 camera back.
from www.amazon.com
my camera: my newest camera is an olympus e-520, which has all the communication capability necessary to use the fl-50r's features.
from www.amazon.com
if you dig real deep on the panasonic site under "compatibility," you'll learn that panasonic and olympus teamed up on panasonic's new high end camera.

you will need to think this through since there are no wires going from the flash to the camera so how far the subject is from you will determine the setting you choose.

there is little reference in the sb instruction manual to the cp camera line, and it is difficult to determine how many of the features of the sb800 can be used with the cp camera.

Sony HVL-F36AM Digital Camera Flash

$250.00 Est. at Amazon

from www1.wolfcamera.com
it has all the basic necessities as well as coupling with the zoom lens settings for flash optimization (sony and konica/minolta only).
from www.amazon.com
despite being huge...it meters quite accurately ..powerful flash...sony ..you should try to have this same features in a smaller package.
from www.amazon.com
it is interesting to observe the flash match with the camera & lens as i focus and zoom the flash mirrors my actions to insure the exposure setting is correct.
from www.amazon.com
it suits its purpose indoors when indoor lighting is low or when the existing lighting is of the wrong color temperature and hard to get a good white balance from.
from www.amazon.com
although less powerful than the f56am, it's still powerful enough for most common indoor family photography, even when using power reducing features like bounce cards, etc.

with our kids in elementery school and the seasonal programs in a big fairly dark gymnasium it's wonderful to get a 30+ ft light source for pictures.

this flash is perfect for one shoot, just point and it will review all the settings in the kodak p880 camera and it make all the adjustment to take the perfect photo.
from www.amazon.com
it provides a nice balance of light and, when using the angled flash, it provides a soft composition that works just fine.
from www.amazon.com
you also can change the settings manually.
from www.amazon.com
all features work as advertised with the ability to bounce the flash especially handy.

Nikon EM-140 DG Flash

$364.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the only reason i didn't give this flash five stars is because it isn't immediately intuitive to set all the cool features ion manual mode.
from www.amazon.com
...that photographers shooting close-ups want an affordable ring flash with professional features.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't learned all the features but right out of the box, and set to auto mode, the flash works great.
from www.amazon.com
after a little experimentation i discovered that i get the best images by using the aperature priority setting.
from www.amazon.com
notwithstanding the previous review i have to point out that the em-140dg manual, page 18, (available for download from sigma website) does not include the nikon d50 in its compatibility list.

from www.amazon.com
so, for a about a price of sb-600 you get a flash that has almost all of the features and is even more powerful than sb-800 (from what i see it only lacks pc sync - but i never used it anyway).
from www.amazon.com
(its a shame sigma doesn't include a booklet in the package that has some of its salient features)
from www.amazon.com
this is a good flash with many advance features which can only be found in a high end and expensive unit.
from www.amazon.com
but, as i soon discovered, it doesn't work well with program mode.
from www.amazon.com
missing features: it needs a battery level indicator.
