    Nikon's SB-700 TTL is an excellent on-camera flash

    Although not the latest or most advanced Speedlight, Nikon's SB-700 model is very good for my needs. It works well as a general flash and so far is working very well when used with my macro lens.

    IT works but go with another.

    We stopped using Nikon flashes years ago in favor of Godox which is also Flashpoint. Speedlights are way over priced and don't perform as well especially when it comes to battery life. Godox/Flashpoint are spot on with true iTTL and the same features as Nikons but at a much better price.

    Great flash for the price!

    Works great, I primarily use this as a secondary flash to my SB-5000 when I want to pop a bit more light into a photo but have used it on camera for military homecomings in the evening.

    NO EXTERNAL BATTERY OPTION.

    Flash is great I just REALLY miss the option for an external battery option. Yes, it recycles quickly but there are times when the AA?s are not enough. It?s disappointing that we can?t add a quantum battery to the flash any more.

    Love the Nikon SP-700

    I have been taking photographs for years, but have been afraid to use a speedlight. I read many reviews and watched some videos before choosing the Nikon SP-700. I have a Nikon D-7500 camera and thought it would be a good choice for me and my camera. I am very happy with my choice. It is easy to use and all the functions marked clearly on the flash. It took some time to set up my camera for off flash use but once I figured that out it was easy to operate. I would recommend the SP-700.

    High functioning flash for the Nikon Dxxxx DSLR

    My trusty SB-600 died after 11 years of what would probably be called average use. I read the criticism in the review universe but went ahead and bought the SB-700. And, yes, the controls are too small and the output is not the same. The functioning, though, is right were you need it with perfect integration with my D7500. I hope it holds up as well as the SB-600. It gets only four stars because of the almost 80% increase in price.

    Nikon SB-700 Speedlight Exceeds Expectations.

    The Nikon SB-700 flash unit worked perfectly right from the box. It is a replacement for an earlier Nikon Speedlight so I expected similar quality and performance but the SB-700 actually exceeded my expectations. The quality of the 'flash' (the metering) produced a better balanced output, resulting in perfect color and balance with the first shot and all that followed. I know that Nikon makes more expensive flash units but the SB-700 is working fine for me and certainly out performing my expectations. Therefore, I think the SB-700 is a great value for the money and you will not be disappointed.

    Good Flash. Works great, especially in TTL mode. To me Nikon flashes are way overpriced (the reason for 4 stars).

    I am a passionate amateur photographer. I do not suffer sub-standard equipment very long. While I can't afford the very best equipment, the equipment I buy had better be worth my hard earned money. I originally was going to buy an SB-600, but they were discontinued, so I bought the SB-700. After reviewing the specs, I found that the SB-700 actually has slightly less flash power than the SB-600, and some other minor differences, that would seem to make it a lesser flash for more money.

    The SB-700 Is Indestructable!

    By ARCCPhotos

    I am a professional photographer in San Antonio, TX and I often use my SB-700 flash for off camera flash (OCF). About a week ago I was photographing a family next to a river and I had my flash mounted to an OCF rig and 24" x 24" softbox and sandbagged. A strong gust of wind blew the rig (despite the sandbag) into the river! I rushed over and I was too late... I fished the rig out of the water and immediately pulled the batteries. This flash was totally waterlogged. I was so upset.. This was ...

    Versatility meets portability
    The i-TTL-optimized SB-700 offers the perfect balance of exposure, performance and portability for any photographer on the go. Its flexible flash head provides creative lighting freedom for nearly any subject. Achieve brilliant results and seamless lighting system integration with hot shoe operation or wirelessly as a master, commander or remote light source.

    Ideal exposure every time - Nikon's precision i-TTL flash control
    Optimized for use with Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS), the SB-700 Speedlight is equipped with Nikon's precision i-TTL (Intelligent Through-The-Lens) flash control to deliver precise flash exposures and seamless fill-flash performance even in challenging lighting situations. Immediately before the main flash goes off, the SB-700 fires a series of monitor pre-flashes, which convey Information about the scene's lighting to the camera. i-TTL then automatically balances the output of the Speedlight and the scene's ambient light.

    Complete lighting control - Wireless commander mode
    The SB-700 offers wireless Commander Mode to allow you complete control over compatible Creative Lighting System (CLS) products. The SB-700 controls up to 2 remote Speedlight groups and an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights. When used as a remote Speedlight, up to 3 groups can be selected. Four wireless channel options help manage wireless conflicts in multi-photographer environments.

    Ready for any situation - Intuitive versatile lighting options
    With its streamlined controls and intuitive menus, the SB-700 allows you to access its full range of functionality with ease. Versatile auto power zoom coverage allows you to smoothly cover lenses as wide as 24mm and up to 120mm in FX-format.

    Using the simple slider switch on the back of the SB-700, you can optimize light quality by selecting from 3 light distribution patterns: Standard for general illumination, Center-weighted for portraits or Even, for groups or interiors. Automatically detects Nikon FX and DX formats and selects suitable light distribution angle. Automatically detects increases in flash head temperature and controls recycling time accordingly, thus preventing overheating. Automatically detects type of hard-type color compensation filter (fluorescent and incandescent) and automatically transmits filter information to camera for optimum white balance setting.
