I have 4-622n slaves I use. 2 on each camera and 2 for each off camera. they fire every time, they dont have to be in line of sight and "see" the camera flash to fire. for events, its a MUST. if you need for your events and you shoot a lot, then consider the 565 for now. $110 shipped. it has a battery port so you can use one of their battery packs ($40 shipped on ebay) and you can connect that off camera and not have to worry about changing the batteries and recycle is much better. truthfully, I always shoot my off camera flashes in manual (because the damn 622 are not compatible with the D3) and usually fire them at 1/32 power and run iso 4000 on the dance floor.size wize they are about the same. same with weight. bigger than the sb700/800 and just about the same size. you do realize you said 2 opposite things. your first sentence. ill use the 900 as master. then the 3rd sentence you said you want it off camera.what I hate about the 622 slaves is that if you turn it off, the flash on top wont work. sometimes I dont want the off camera flash to fire. so what you can do is put the slave in a different group so they dont fire the off camera flash. just remember to put it back.</blockquote>
