Hello!
Could anybody give me a quick advice for purching a speedlight? Since I'm having Nikon I'd consider this brand. And I have no doubt that I'd better take USA than Imported for better warranty. The difference is negligible comparing to the total price anyway.
Here is what we have on BHPHOTOVIDEO.com web site:

SB-400 SB-400 Speedlight i-TTL Shoe Mount Flash $125
SB-700 Speedlight Shoe Mount Flash $330
SB-900 AF Speedlight i-TTL Shoe Mount Flash $510
Of course I realize that the higher price means better quality. But do I really need SB-900 for my D80 or whatever I will buy in a year or so? SB-900 can illuminate a bigger room for sure, it's more flexible with settingsm, but the price is higher.
I realize that the better models can be used separately with wireless control, so it's great, they are more powerful, etc. I can correct the direction of the speedlight. TTL is very good since the camera supports that. But does it really make sense to buy the most expensive toy for home usage, rare sport events, weddings, etc.?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Steve
