The Nikon SB-800 speed light is designed to work shoe-mounted with any Nikon brand camera and can also be used as a stand-alone unit that can be triggered wirelessly. Easy to use for either the amateur or pro photographer, with autofocus or manual control on either film or digital SLR cameras. Up to three units can be used as slaves to communicate with a master unit for multiple flash exposures all coordinated automatically with Nikon's Creative Lighting System. Perfect for uses such as wedding photography since you can use extended battery packs with the unit along with the internal AA batteries.
