Product Description

The SB-900 i-TTL Speedlight leads the Nikon Creative Lighting System by delivering the portability, power, and versatility to support any photographer's creative lighting imagination. The SB-900 works as a wireless standalone flash, or you can use it as a commander or wireless remote light source. In commander mode, the SB-900 controls up to three remote Speedlight groups and an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights, with four wireless channel options helping you manage wireless conflicts in multiple photographer environments. The flash also offers streamlined controls and menus, including a rotary select dial that sets key flash functions quickly, along with a prominent master and remote control switch to simplify wireless operation.

Photographers working on zoom photos will appreciate the SB-900's expanded auto power zoom coverage, which ranges from 17 to 200mm in the FX format to 12 to 200mm in the DX format. Photographers also have the choice of three light distribution patterns: standard (for general illumination), center-weighted (for portraits), and even (for groups or interiors). Finally, the SB-900 automatically identifies mounted color gel filters and adjusts the camera's auto white balance setting (available with select Nikon digital SLR cameras). Other details include automatic FX/DX format identification; user-friendly firmware updating; flash tube overheat protection; and a drip-proof mounting foot cover.

Lots of misinformation in other reviews of this flash
 
Review Date: May 4, 2009
Reviewer: Paul Grupp, Troy, NY
I can't believe the amount of misinformation presented in customer reviews for this product.

First of all, it is true -- Nikon added a thermal cut-off that allows the customer to be absolutely certain that the flash never overheats. If that sensor is turned on, the flash can't shoot fast enough or often enough for professional usage -- particularly for weddings. Try shooting the bridal party introductions at a reception, for example. Even if you limit yourself to two flash pops per couple, by the time the third couple is walking in the door, the thermal shutdown will kick in, and you'll be swearing at the thing.

However, you can simply turn the sensor off. In my experience, the flash is no more delicate than previous Nikon and Canon speedlights. Every Nikon and Canon flash has a duty cycle carefully described in their manual that virtually all professionals ignore and exceed, and yet -- most of us get years of usage from the flashes with no problem. I can't tell you the number of times I've taken batteries out of my flashes that were simply too hot to hold, and the flash housing was burning hot too -- but the thing just kept on working. So I think, if you turn off the thermal cut-off, the SB-900 will behave just like earlier flashes like the SB-800, in terms of overheating.

So the simple answer is. . . if you turn off the thermal sensor, the SB-900 is at least as useful as a professional tool as it's predecessors -- no more, no less susceptible to overheating. I don't know why Nikon and Canon are so conservative in the duty-cycle ratings of their flashes, but I've talked with dozens of fellow pros over the years -- we all abuse the flashes, and we rarely have issues. I'm not saying that it's not possible to abuse these speedlights to the point where they will die -- I'm just saying I have used them professionally and repeatedly put hundreds of very fast, high-power pops on them, significantly exceeding the rated duty cycle, and have yet to kill a Canon or Nikon speedlight.

As far as batteries go, Nikon fully supports and recommends the use of NiMH batteries -- both normal and Eneloops. The chart in the manual shows NiMH as being the best combination for a good number of pops and the shortest recycling time. Only the expensive Lithium non-rechargeables have better battery life, but they have a recycle time almost double NiMH. Alkalines give the smallest number of pops, and have the second longest recycle time.

So fear not -- the SB-900 is the nicest speedlight I've owned yet -- I have three of them, and I like it far better than it's predecessors. Turn off the thermal sensor as soon as you take the flash out of the box, load it up with Eneloop batteries, and you will experience flash nirvana.

Finally, I highly recommend the SD-9 accessory battery pack. Load it up with Sanyo Eneloops, and you can easily shoot an entire wedding (actually, probably two weddings) without swapping batteries, while enjoying the fastest recycle time possible with this flash.

Update after using three of the SB-900s for a full wedding season: We encountered some flakiness (random flashing of the flashtube and AF assist lights) which I THINK is related to a loose fit of the SB-900's hot shoe base in the D700 camera's hot shoe. So far, it seems like applying Deoxit contact cleaner to both the camera and flash camera contacts makes the problem go away.
Thermal shutdown - fixed?
 
Review Date: December 26, 2008
Reviewer: Busy Executive, Long Island, NY
I have an SB900 and agree with all the positive comments posted in other reviews, however I want to challenge those who are posting stories about thermal shutdown to supply some additional information about what situations really cause the flash to shutdown.

I've been using my SB900 for several months now, and I've never experienced a problem with the unit shutting down, so I thought I'd try a simple test.

I installed a set of brand new lithium ion batteries in my SB900, set it to full power manual mode, and hit the flash button manually as soon as the ready light lit - that's about one full-power shot every 1 or 2 seconds. I did this until the batteries were drained (that is, until it got to be about 10 seconds between flashes - that's a few hundred full-power flashes in a row).

Never once did the thermal protection circuit kick in...in fact, the temperature display barely moved for the first 50-100 shots, and throughout the test, even when I could feel the batteries getting warm, it never went much above the 50% mark. My test was indoors at an ambient temperature of about 70 degrees.

I tried other settings - repeat flash, flash with my D3 firing at maximum continuous speed, etc. But I could never even come close to driving the flash to shutdown. So perhaps Nikon fixed the issue, I'm just plain lucky - or it has to do with the type of batteries or maybe other accessories used.

With this issue out of the way, I'm able to give the unit an unqualified 5 star rating as it's simply the most capable and easy to use unit I've ever owned.

Reviewer: K. Falls, United States
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1GH8VQJ1SNADH This Flash is another example of why Nikon is the World leader in innovation for photography!! The Creative Lighting System is totally wireless controlled and you can have multiple flashes controlled via this or another flash. Very User friendly. The overheating issue must have been resolved as I have not had any issues to date. Thanks for watching my reviews.
The Truth About it's "overheating malfunction"...
 
Review Date: December 23, 2008
Reviewer: Randall L. Steffens, Carthage, TN USA
For all those of you, who are reading these reviews, and can't quite figure out why Nikon would make such a "deficient" product, as this SB-900, this review should forever put the debate to rest.

It has been suggested that the SB-900 is a sub-standard unit, because it will "overheat" at times, causing it to shut down, until it finally cools off, allowing it to eventually resume operations. There are some reviewers on this site, that will lead you to believe that this "safety" feature is an engineering flaw and thus, all would-be buyers need to beware, and seriously look elsewhere.

I recently purchased this flash and used it heavily during a conference this past weekend, in which I was one of two event photographers. Admittedly, I was a little cautious and reserved when I purchased this unit, secondary to several negative reviews regarding it's habitual "overheating malfunction".

Reflecting on it's performance this past weekend, I am pleased to report that It was used heavily in all situations and it never "malfunctioned" - not even once. Obviously, there were a couple of times when I was too far from the subject, causing the unit to discharge at full power. But, as an observant user, I recognized that this was my clue that I (not it) was doing something wrong. Thus with minor and reasonable modifications, a good outcome was reliably achieved.

Interestingly, the owners manual does state that if the unit is used too heavily, it can get hot and shut down temporarily, as a precautionary measure. But it must also be noted that the owners manual for both the built-in camera flash and the SB-800 say the very same thing! In other words, if ANY flash is abused, misused or in any way used in a manner that is inconsistent with its designed purpose, it will overheat and shut down.

This is NOT a design error on the part of Nikon. The overheating will only occur if the flash is fully discharged upon multiple consecutive occurrences, on a subject that is too distant for the flash to appropriately illuminate. If the flash is found to shut down, it is a sign that one must move closer to the subject or add more flash units. Again, overheating and shutdown is NOT a design flaw, it more appropriately represents operator error.

Additionally, the new design is truly welcomed! The controls are MUCH better placed and much easier to use. It recharges much faster and works very smoothly. I am very pleased with Nikon's new design and any logical user will feel the same. You will not go wrong with this unit and undoubtedly, will find it a pleasure to work with on a regular basis.

In summary: Do not be mislead by those users who are using the unit inappropriately. If you have never caused your built-in camera flash or SB-800 units to meltdown or "freez-up" (pun intended), You will likely not experience any such event on the SB-900. It is a very well designed unit, is much easier to use, and functions much more smoothly than any flash Nikon has put out thus far.

Enjoy!

Okay, here's the (long winded) truth about the flash and it's "thermal shutdown problem".
First off, let me say that I have much experience in using different camera flashes and studio strobes as well as some repairing of them. I will start of by saying that this flash is the best portable camera flash in it's class that I have EVER used. Nikon knows what they are doing. They have an extremely high standard of quality and reliability. When they see a quality improvement / guarantee need, they will apply it. In the case of the SB-800 to the SB-900 one of the biggest and least appreciated quality assurance guarantees is the thermal cut off feature. Which, by the way, can be turned off or on. So all of those who are b****ing about it, just read your manual and turn it off!

Okay, time for a cheesy quote: "With great power comes great responsibility". Nikon knew this. (speculation) They also knew the general public would not really understand the limitations of the flash in hand. So they incorporated a safety mechanism: "Thermal cut off", to prevent overheating due to extended maximum flash output. This sort of "circuit breaker" is also found in some pro studio strobes. Studio strobes usually use AC power and provide a much greater power output and are more likely to overheat and sometimes "blow out", so it is common to see some kind of safety mech built in to them. Portable camera flashes run off batteries and do not produce any where near the kind of power output than said strobes; so there is usually no critical need for such a safety. With the SB-900 however (and SB-800), Nikon has managed to build a very compact flash (yes, I mean compact if you consider it's power capability) that recharges very quickly and sustains a consistent powerful output. To do this, it requires a huge demand on the IGBT (like a capacitor) and sustained overheating would result in failure and eventually even damage to the flash. Of course they could have "pushed it" and programmed it to trigger at a much higher temp threshold or even eliminated the option all together. But it is good to have that feature. It's not that the flash overheats "easily", it's that the flash is offering more than maybe it should. With that much more power, comes that much more heat. (Especially from a compact unit without any cooling fans)

Now for my silly analogy: "It's like the difference between driving a car that only goes 65mph (other flashes) and driving car that goes 100mph (SB-900 / 800). With the 65mph car, you can't get a speeding ticket (overheat / failure) on the freeway with the speed limit of 65mph. With the 100mph car you won't get a ticket either, until you start driving 100mph for an extended period of time on the same freeway. Then you will likely be stopped for speeding. Then, having a radar detector (thermal cut off feature) will warn you when a cop is around the corner and that you should slow down from 100mph to 65mph. You may ask yourself: why that speed limit? Of course, safety: limitations of the car and driver. Then you may ask: why make a car that goes 100mph if it is not safe to go that fast? (here is where my analogy doesn't follow exactly, but you get my point) You may have a need to go 100mph and it is good to have the ability. Often it may be fine to do so. Just know you are running the risks."

If you really need to turn off the thermal feature and shoot at max output consistently, chances are it will function just fine. Yes, it will get hot, yes your batteries will drain faster, and yes you will wait longer for each subsequent recharge but nothing major will happen: because it's designed to do that and it's a Nikon made in Japan. Just know this: Nikon or not, all electronics still have to follow the basic laws of physics. It's not ultimately good for the IGBT and circuitry to sustain such powerful flash firing as some do. You run the risk of degradation and failure. I've seen it happen, albeit rare.

Basically, you should feel confident about the performance and reliability of this flash. It doesn't get any better...yet.

I accept been application the assize PowerShot SD band aback SD300. Had accomplished through so abounding of them already. I was never afraid by the photo affection of the SD curve but this camera has surpassed my expectations.

I commonly shoot with a assize Rebel XT – 350D, with several lenses including a 28-75mm f/2.8 and a 10-22mm advanced lens. Whenever I shoot photos central during banquet with my SLR, bodies are afraid that I do not charge to use the flash. able-bodied this SD780 is actually THAT. I was cutting photos in doors after beam on Auto approach and it was capturing altogether aciculate images! I anticipate the accuracy of the camera’s Auto ISO alternative forth with the amazing assize line’s Imagine Stablization – IS – absolutely helped.

The admeasurement of the camera is small, like a acclaim card. Anyone can calmly bead it in their shirt pocket, and abnormally the girls out there with cool apprenticed jeans, I’m abiding this can be alone into your aback abridged as well. It’s acutely light!!!

Modes – I bethink back I aboriginal acclimated night approach in the SD400, I absolutely admired how the photos angry out. The abstraction abaft night approach is that it’ll use the beam to abduction the foreground(subject) and additionally extend the bang to acquiesce the accomplishments capture. This adjustment generated admirable adumbration with night shots! It’s too bad there’s no added bang ascendancy on this camera because I was aggravating to shoot an alfresco photo at night, with no flash, but I capital to accomplish abiding to abduction the admirable architectural lights in the background. I couldn’t amount it out aural the 15 secs I had so I gave up. I’m adequately accustomed with the SD line’s airheaded so I didn’t bother account the manual.

Videos – 720p movies in .mov format. What added can i say? I anticipate a 2min video came out to about 350-400mb large. So if you’re planning to abduction some videos, accomplish abiding you accept a ample accommodation SDHC card. I usually don’t shoot videos, abnormally aback there’s no video action on my SLR, but man was it fun to abduction the moment with the dialogues and aloof facial expressions that cannot be captured with a photograph.

I was debating amid SD780 vs SD940 vs SD1400 aback they’re breed of anniversary other. I knew the SD1400’s appearance was no best like the baby brand of the SD780, but the closing two offered a 2.7″ awning instead! A additional application was the advanced bend adeptness of SD940 and SD1400. Truthfully, this camera was for my gf, whom doesn’t apperceive abundant about photography. Whenever I ask her to booty a pic with my SLR, it is consistently an ballsy fail. So I knew back she turns on the camera, if it defaults to advanced angle, all her photos would attending funky. So I knew a acceptable 28mm agnate would be best for an abecedarian shooter. Honestly advanced bend is fun for architectural photography like calm and buildings. Otherwise, advanced bend absolutely distorts the way bodies attending in images. advanced bend is fun, but it wont be a photo I’d book out for frames.

Anyways, I’m not a acceptable writer, branch anatomy and grammars are apprenticed to be amiss here. aloof apperceive this is A acceptable CAMERA and why it won so abounding editor’s best awards and why there’s HUNDREDS of Amazon reviews already agitated about it. You can’t get a bigger camera than this for one hundred and eighty dollars with a chargeless 4gb SDHC class6 card!

Minolta agenda camera problems alter with altered models. Some models accept poor affection images. The Konica Minolta DiMage X50 is one of the bunched agenda cameras that accept had problems with account quality. The babble akin of this accurate camera is additionally a problem. The S414 has its allotment of problems from abbreviate array activity to the artificial housing. The abstraction for a abiding camera is not begin with this accurate model.

Some added Minolta agenda camera problems are pictures not bright in low ablaze settings as able-bodied as problems removing the anamnesis agenda because of the location. All cameras accept some problems, but you charge to accumulate in apperception that if the user is not acclimatized to application the camera and the settings, this could aftereffect in issues that are added about user absurdity than the camera itself.
