Nikon just announced a new speedlight designed to complement the flagship SB-900. The Nikon SB-700 Speedlight will cost $329.95, and includes some mouth-watering features.
But they have excluded a key feature that will make you wanna pull your hair out. Any guesses?
In Sync
- 2.5 sec recycle w/NiMH (3 w/alkaline)
- SB-900 control interface (knobs and switches)
- FX/DX chip size recognition for on-camera beam spread
- Can be a Master and Remote flash for CLS users (but only controls two groups)
- Beam shaping, like the SB-900
- Auto FX and DX detection, good zoom and wide range.
- Exposure point set from point to full frame.
- Lots of buttons (I like buttons and don't like menu digging).
- Comes with all light bouncer, diffuser, color gel hold and colored set.
- Quick Wireless Mode lets you dial in A:B ratios. Kinda Canon-ish, IMO.
Out of Sync
- No PC jack that I can see anywhere.
- Costly.
- Bag seems to be bulky.
But overall I am happy to see this flash with few nimble changes making a good deal of differences. |
