Lots of little touches that are a modest step forward. Faster recycling, better swivel, dedicated gel holder that impacts white balance correctly, the list of little things that were added or improved is quite long. Styled light. The ability to control the concentration of light is exceptionally useful. Indeed, it makes you want even more control. This is a half-stop less than advertised, which ia actually quite impressive, as all previous Japanese flashes have measured a full stop less than advertised, so the SB-910 actually has a half-stop more power than I expected.

Condition guide

I miss the dedicated LCDs of flashes like the SB-600, which are much sharper, cleaner and clearer than the less-legible dot-matrix displays of newer flashes like this SB-910 and the SB-700. There is an excellent basic guide of how to take various kinds of pictures, as well as the larger manual that's mostly legal notices. GN 59ft, 18 m @ 27mm) Nikon's latest smaller shoe mount flash unit which replaces SB-400. It is less powerful than SB-400 and uses AAA-size batteries. SB-300 is derived from the SB-N7, the same flash unit previously released for the Nikon 1 "multi-accessory port," instead of the ISO 518:2006 hot shoe. Both SB-300 and SB-N7 have a variable angle 'bounce' head up to 120 degrees but has no horizontal swiveling.

Its guide number is 38meters / 125feet at ISO 100 and 35mm, with a maximum range of 58m when adjusted at 105mm.

Getting a bit bulky. In every dimension the new flash is a bit bigger. Make more room in your case. Lots of small touches. The flash head rotates the same amount in both directions (finally). The carrying case holds the accessories. A thermal cutout feature keeps you from frying your head (and an indicator shows you how close you are to doing that ;~). The battery compartment door is a little sturdier and less cumbersome to use. The firmware of the flash can be updated. The list is actually relatively long when it comes to small touches than are improvements.
