    Same settings as shown in the video except you would need to attach a lens hood and requires faster shutter speeds on sunny days, that would be all.

    Switch from 14-bit to 12-bit RAW recording if you wish to use higher ISO sensitivities.

    Just a FYI, you can only find SB-800’s used because SB-800 have been discontinued for 6 months now, so is the SB-600, too.

    The SB-900 offers MUCH more features but I doubt you will use all of them. So, I would say SB-800 and SB-900 are equal.

    What’s the best in terms of features, sb800 or the sb900?

    First, not to sound blunt, you need to start reading your D200 and SB-800 users manuals because your answer is there. We have a similar video on this topic buried deep down on our channel; you can find it under the title of Nikon C.L.S. with D80 Setting Up. Be sure to install the latest firmware on your D200 to expand the abilities. Good luck.

    SB-800 have more power, more features, could be used as a Master / Remote / SU-4 flash in Creative Lighting System, have more modes, have wider range of zooming (from 17mm to 105mm), have PC terminal that allows you hook up Pocketwizards to for wireless triggering, have prongs for SD-8A battery pack for faster recycling, have a built in bounce card, bigger lime green LCD, and ability to use diffusion dome attachment. The SB-600 don’t have any of these.

    It’s normal, you can turn the beeping off on the flash custom settings menu (CSM).

    Thanks alot for this videos, they’re very helpfull,
    I have a question about SB-800 speedlight,
    I just bought mine used, I was testing it using the REMOTE mode, with my nikon d70, but I don’t know if is normal but after the flush goes off, the SB-800 makes a loud Beep, is it because overheating,??

    Yup, heard it too, Nikon decided to continue the production for the SB-800 and SB-600 since there are a lot of people who are happy with the products. These flashes aren’t exactly designed for DX bodies – SB-900 now support DX bodies and works perfectly.

    just a correction, it has not been discontinued. it’s still in production. i went to the factory in sendai to check. they still make it and will be for a good while longer considering the popularity of the dx sensors and the need for smaller sized flash units.

    I don’t have an exact price but Nikon’s estimate is $250-$400 range.

    Well what about the SB700. what price rage would that be in?

    Well in that case I should get it sooner rather than later – thanks again!

    Just a heads up for you – The Nikon SB-800 is now discontinued (so is SB-600 as well). Try to get your hands on one as soon as possible before it turns out of stock, otherwise you will be stuck with a $500 SB-900. =/

    Thanks for posting this – it was really useful!
    I think I’m about to buy one!

    Well, not everybody can afford SB-800 like you but SB-600 suits a lot of people who would fight its limitations to be able to use it fully.
