SB900 priced at RM1350 now... about RM250 diff ... somehow I think SB900 more worth it.

Before SB-910 announced, SB-900 already can get at RM1350 around September last year.

Yeah, price drop to make way for the SB910.

Basically SB910 removed the over-heat protection and throw in some colour filter lah ?

I guess not too bad, when I saw noob use SB900 it really troubles them. Worse come to worst, noob don't know sb900 has the protection and they keep spam like how paparazzi did end up overheat have to turn off for a while to continue hahaha

Thermal protection was not removed, it was 'improved' or rather modified.

SB900 - Flash performs as normal until overheat then cuts off
SB910 - Flash recycle rate decreases when overheat, thus making it able to last longer but recycle rate becomes longer. Same style as the 580EXII.

Conclusion, when you really need the flash recycle rate performance, the SB900 will come in handy instead of the SB910 which has slow down the recycle rate...

finally after collecting for who knows how long, at last i get to own this wonderful tool!
total damage 1.1k. Anyone had any idea where can i get useful link on tutorial/lesson how to fully maximize this tool in my photography?

Check the post before you or I quoted it for u as below:

Maybe u can let us know ur budget,den we can giv some suggestion which is better for u to go with...

these are price ive been quoted;

SB700 : RM900
SB900 : RM1350
SB910 : RM1600

Add on, SB900 was the flagship before this. The SB910 is a refresh model with tweaks (especially on the thermal cut).. but performance wise is the same. Same power output, whatever SB910 can do, the SB900 can do as well.

hoping firmware update will help SB900

The thermal cut thingy is Nikon's best selling point of SB910... if update SB900 then how to sell SB910?

However, from the way the recycle rate behaves, we can actually apply the same thing on SB-900 but it is just that we need to be "manual" than it is automated. Given that, SB-900 actually gives the option where we can burst multiple times with faster refresh rate compared to the SB-910. Hence if you have got SB-900, should there be no solid convince to move to SB-910 but just to adjust the way you use the SB-900

hahaha sell to some noobies? i believe they will just the matter of time when

In anyway, SB-910 is an improved model of SB-900. I little doubt if Nikon wanted to continue SB-900 production.

btw...
a newer SB-900 come with latest firmware...
.002 or something...
there's some changes in d setting if not mistaken...

as the BL option option can be selected while d older one can't...
hopefully someone can clarify dis...

Agree with this. So far I'm not having issue with my flash, so I'm not going to bother much

Probably when SB900 stock is depleted, and people have no choice but to purchase SB910

Hmm, time to check what firmware is mine. I remember there is an update just after I bought mine back in 2009...

never bother check firmware since i first bought it. bought when it was several week after launch which i forgot when
