D40 with SB800 I have a D40 with SB600 and I want to buy the SB800 but I have a question. if I mount the SB800 on my D40, can I trigger my other SB600 wirelessly from the SB800?

You are welcome. I don't quite follow what you are asking. More lights are usually better.... Better perhaps to determine what you wish to photograph and then see how others do it. Using three to four lights is common. With portable equipment I am usually happy with two lights. I haven't used the SB-800. Two SB-800s using the prices you quoted would be $660. Two SB-600s and an SU-800 are under $600. Most people who get the 800s are not concerned with cost or are only getting one flash and want to be able to use it with older equipment. It has all the bells and whistles with some extra power.

thank you very much for the advice... SU-800 is very interesting unit indeed. at adorama Sb-800 is about $330 and the SU-800 is $245. and the SB-600 is $176I find it more feasible if I order the SU-800 with another SB-600 by just adding only extra $90 instead of buying the SB-800 and mount it always on my D40.this will give me room for more creative light control.which is a better choice for an amature with a D40?buy SB-800 only? or, SU-800 with SB-600 for extra $90?

Yes you can or you can get the SU-800 commander and control it via IR signals. The commander will cost nearly as much as the flash so it may not be the best choice for you.

I have used them with a Nikon D80/D7000/D7100 and various flashes. However, I highly recommend that you look at the Yongnuo-RF-603NII-N3-Wireless-Flash-Trigger. Each Yongnuo unit can act as both camera and flash trigger at the same time.

I used it with my D300, so I can deduce that, since the D300 is an upgrade to the D200, it would work with both the D200 and D300. Having done a little research online, I'm seeing that it indeed is compatible with the D200. But if you want wireless flash shots , you will need the flash wireless shoe. Something around 50 US$

The SB28 is a flash designed for older Nikon cameras, meaning film cameras. Digital cameras use a different system for the flash to properly read the exposure for thru the lens exposure. This flash will work only in manual mode on Nikon digital cameras. You need a SB600 or more recent strobe for your digital Nikon. The SB28 is excellent as a remote flash with you setting the intensity of the flash. I use one with a small radio trigger for fill light very effectively. Again, unless saving on price is worth the trouble of hands-on setting the flash each time, you need a newer strobe made for digital and not the SB28.

The difference, as you probably know, is the SU 800. I have the SB-900 that I use and it seems to work fine, or I can use the built in flash on my D-800. I have never tried the SU-800 so I can not comment on the difference.

Yes, you could purchase the WTR-B for the Nikon D800 and also the Universal (M) Cable for Satechi Smart Trigger, WTR, and MTR to use with the Nikon D600. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

Yes... The SB400 is compatible with all modern Nikon DSLRs. Nikon provides a table for flash compatibility... http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/886/~/d-slr-and-nikon-speedlight-compatibility

The PW's are transceivers, and will act both as a trigger and a slave. Attach one to the hotshoe of your D90 in receiver mode and another one to your SB700 off camera also in receiver mode, and a third will be used to trigger in your hand in transmit mode. If you only have two, then one is on your D90 in transmit mode and the other on your SB700 in receive mode. When you use your camera's shutter release button to fire your camera, it will use the PW to trigger the PW on your SB700.Hope that answers your question.

From the specs of the D7000, it seems that it can use all the Nikon speedlights SB series 3xx - 9xx, however, the SB-800, a discontinued series though may be available as used/demo/etc. equipment, is more geared for Nikon flash professionals and could be intimidating to those not familiar with Nikon speedlights nor flash photography.

Yes, I have used the SB-700 in studio wirelessly with the D-90... works fabulous ! It will work wirelessly on all Nikon DSLR's.... have tried it with entry level models up to the beastly D800. Hopes this helps...it is a great flash !

I have two SB-910's, no problems. Much better refresh time than the SB-700 I have. I will keep up with the D800 fps with no problem.

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

No, I have not been able to make my D3200 work with SB-500 as remote flash. Transmitter (camera side) in Manual mode, it does trigger SB-500, however, power adjustment (1/2, 1/4, etc.) in the camera does not change output of SB-500 (I assume it stays at 1/1 no matter what). Transmitter in TTL mode, it wouldn't even trigger.

Do these work with D800? I have them on a D90 and just got a D800. For $32 I can get the other model but if they still work even better?

I am not familiar with D40, but by looking at D40 picture I don't see that D40 is equipped with a ten-pin remote terminal for remote control. I think you should check wireless remote ML-L3.

I use the sb900 and have had no issues. The d690 is full frame so you are goin to want to flash that throws light as far as the lens captures.

No just SU 800. ITwill trigger the SB700 make sure that your SB 700 is a remote mode. YOU CAN ALSO TRIGGER YOUR SB 700 IN SU-4 MODE WITH ANY OTHER FLASH.
