[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 167038, member: 12496"] In the Nikon way, the higher price model has more features, or rather, fewer features are stripped. Those that come to mind are: SB-910 has a little more power, GN 111.5 vs GN 91.9 (DX mode, ISO 100, 24mm zoom). If you assume 10 feet to compare, this is f/11.1 vs f/9.1, which is near 2/3 stop more. Not that much, but approaching double power, and significant when bounce needs it. SB-910 accepts the accessory power battery pack, very important for wedding/event photographers shooting hundreds of shots all day. IMO, not important for more normal use. There are little things, SB-910 has menus to select TTL or TTL BL, SB-700 just says TTL, which always does TTL BL. i.e., SB-910 has a TTL override like the previous models. But in that same way, the camera internal flash and the SB-400 and the Commander do only TTL BL too (leaving out mention of Spot Metering). SB-910 Commander allows each group to be a different flash mode (TTL or Manual), but SB-700 menu requires all groups be the same mode. This would rarely ever matter for routine normal use of two flashes (main and fill, etc, either TTL or Manual), but is problem if using TTL, but a third group is wanted for hair light or background light, which TTL is not suitable for.
