Nikon Speedlight SB-800 review
Compatible with both digital and film SLR cameras; auto flash control is
set to match the camera body: i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control with the
D2H, D-TTL Balanced Fill-flash control and Auto Aperture Flash [AA] with D1
Series and D100 digital SLR cameras, and TTL and Non-TTL Auto Flash [A]
with film cameras
As easy to use as a single on-camera speedlight

functions for up to 3 remote i-TTL speedlight groups controlled through the
master SB-800

each of the four groups (including master controller) for easy total
lighting control based on the brightness of the subject and not simply on

triggering flashes

or zoom for the shot while maintaining desired lighting of the subject

shooting at fixed distances, such as wedding photos and product shots
