Comments about Nissin Nissin Di866 Digital Flash for Nikon Digital SLR & Coolpix Hotshoe Cameras, Guide #198, with Zoom, Bounce & Power Ratio Features:

Three days after I got my flash from Adorama I got hit while shooting a basketball game and the flash went flying. The hotshoe broke but Nissin repaired the unit and had it back to me within a week! Try that with Nikon.

The menus are easy to navigate and this flash rocks with the Nikon CLS.
I've been shooting Nikon for years and this flash works well!

Comments about Nissin Nissin Di866 Digital Flash for Nikon Digital SLR & Coolpix Hotshoe Cameras, Guide #198, with Zoom, Bounce & Power Ratio Features:

I have a D300s and have been using my SB400 for around the house shots. Having previously owned 2 Nikon SB600's there were some features and power I started to miss. The SB900 wasn't in my budget and the SB800's are going for insane prices so I started looking around. One topic led to another and I stumbled across the Di866 and I'm so glad I did. This flash is said to be 95% of the SB900 at 65% of the cost, and I believe it. Flash fires insanely well and works flawlessly in all modes. Wireless works with my cameras controls and seems to be quite reliable in that respect as well. I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality flash. The feature set of this flash is incredible and I love that they seemed to have the photographer in mind when designing it. Nissin has been around for a long time and it shows.

As always, Adorama was a pleasure to do purchase from and they continue to earn my business.

I am completely satisfied with these speed lights, was origaninally going with another SB900 but I saw I can have two of these for basically the same price. Very happy with my decision.
