[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 636512, member: 43545"] The SB-700 has the one advantage that was of concern which was small size, over the Yn-568ex. Sometimes I wish I had a smaller flash like the SB-700 since I keep a flash mounted most of the time, night or day, and have 3 SB-900 and 3 Yongnuo 568ex. The SB-900 is a little taller but lighter, and zooms to 200mm beam width but otherwise, it is pretty hard to beat the performance price ratio of the 568ex. For a smaller close fill flash I would go with a SB-700 also, in place of one of the 900s or 568's. The comment about TTL BL vs TTL has confused some, BL only make sense when the whole frame is metered so it switches automatically between the two modes based on metering mode, Matrix or spot. The BL function was the only concern when first trying the Yongnuo 568, and bought 1 after testing in the store, worked great. So impressed by it on a shoot using it and 3 SB900 that I went back and bought 2 more and mating 622n controllers to match my 622 Tx transmitter and slew of 622 transceivers. They are the only flash controllers that have never failed me. So back to the question...D500 and SB700 are fully compatible based on conversations on a larger forum that I am moderator on that is exclusively Nikon oriented. They hit a nice price point for Nikon plus are common enough to be seen occasionally on the used market. They stay cool, never thermal shutdown like some report of the SB900. Go for it. [/QUOTE]
