using AA Alkaline battery..

dunno why.. heard b4 tat using Rechargeable battery is no good.. any idea?

using 12 energizer rechargable 2500mh batts. Never failed me before heheheh

I'm using 4 x 2500NiMh Maha Power Ex for my 580EX.. seems reliable enough

12????

TS talking about SB800

walau coolpix also need so big flash light meh

paaaaaaawwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I used Maha PowerEX 2700 batteries. Most of the time I shoot at ISO200 unless for events; switching base on needs.

So far using ISO200 will have the charging slow down; of couse as it will use up more power. Thus the batteries are hot inside.

Btw, they never fail me.

Just trying to contribute , via experience from the other camp , hope its comparable

em.... is all nikon flash fit all the nikon hot shue ?

certain ones,
go cehck the website.
afaik, sb800 and sb400 fits the dslrs.

now fit on prosumer p5000

ehh boss how much u guys buy the sb800?

i bought mine quite 2 yrs ago , d price was at rm1500 .

dont know now whether more exp / much cheap ???

now i ask still got offered around 1300 ler.....any reputable shop selling cheaper?

1300 is considered cheap d...
most shop i ask its 1399 or 1400...

i selling new SB-400
who interested?
kekeke

it is the top of the line for nikon...
for cls...u need a few speedlites...$$$ problem! =( cannot try!

no need Sb800 also can CLS one

how u mean ?

r u using D2Xs ?
.

his cam is as good as d2xs but smaller in size just a step below d2xs

Yup. D70/D70S/D80/D200's internal flash can be used as Commander to fire it remotely.

even canon 350d,400d,30d ,5d internal flash can be use to trigger sb800. and the list continue. means whatever with flash can trigger sb800

thats in SU-4 mode, which is really a manual slave and is not CLS. With CLS, the flash output is metered via TTL despite being off camera...

Does this apply to SB-600?

But the flash zoom wont work right?

If you want to use Nikon's CLS, you need the SB800 attatched as commander for iTTL to work. The sb 600 can be used as a slave (manual/TTL) but not as a commander. In short, you need at least one SB800 to use CLS, or you can buy the remote TTL commander for almost as much as a used SB800...which i think is lame.

If you don't want to waste money on nikon's TTL system, go SU-4 with vivitar 285hv (or sunpak), with ebay wireless trigger/pocket wizard.

Or get D80

Now, I know one benefit of sb-800

D80 can only trigger the flash. It wont be able to i-TTL with the SB-600 wirelessly.

who says... D70/D80/D200 (not sure abt D2x) can do full commander mode..

D70/D70S/D80/D200 internal flash can be used as Commander.

arrr...today i bought a SB800. because i am at china, bought it at RMB2680 = RM1250 roughly. but the manual is in chinese language, not big problem to me.

also got myself the ML-L3 remote controller at RMB100. and checked the price of MB-D80, it cost RMB888 only.

waoh.......syiok a in china .

r u a china man ?
or u go makan angin?

cheap a there?

then anyone interested can tumpang blacksun buy lo .

but hv to b careful , last month my bro went there and end-up buyinh chapalang negatives film there?

one query here . can i set slave flash ( either sb 800 & sb 600 ) to function as "automatic" instead of i-ttl ( for its output ) ?
.

i am not chinaman la..purely malaysian!

had been here for some times, so i know the lubang lubang here loh.

bought it at photography gears market. and yes u got to be very careful when buying things at china. ask and ask and check and most important, negotiate the price.

Actually yeah, most bodies can trigger CLS with the built in flash with commander mode, but the D50 and D40 cant.

I dont know what you mean by "automatic"....nikon's "automatic" flash is TTL, you can set the flash to manual slave, where you have to set the flash output power yourself. I'm still waiting for my flash trigger to arrive next week to mess with my flashes

the D80 kit is sold roughly RMB8000, may be lesser. and it is genuine. water set price and genuine is very little difference.

genuine as in the set is tax paid, while water not paying tax. genuine get warranty from nikon while water warranty by the shop. all 1 year warranty, this is pretty standard.

18-200 VR is selling at RMB7000 which is expensive here.

have no idea of the d2x.

i will get the MB-D80 here as the price is only RMB888. vermy much cheaper than malaysia.

thanks everyone for sharing .

recently , i face some problem with d sb800 , when in stand-by-mode, sometimes it flashes by itself .

hv u guys ever encountered dis b4 ?

a fren of mine oso face d same thing .
