[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 191537, member: 13076"] Plus the SB-910 goes into some kind of cool-down mode when it overheats (the SB-900 was known to overheat), the SB-800 does not. What is also interesting is that the SB-800 has a higher guide number than either the SB-900 or the SB-910. It also can rely on an external battery pack, but has in addition an add-on compartment for a fifth battery which by itself I think helps recycle times a lot. And many of the diffusors are made to work with the larger SB series Nikon flashes, but not with the SB-400. So you would be very limited in terms of creative lighting. Sometimes it is just a matter of whether you want direct, bounce, or diffuse light and the SB-400 won't give you that choice, at least effectively. For bounce flash, you can never have too much power. Anyway, the SB-700 is the next best thing and I was myself recently shopping around for a good second-hand SB-700 as a second flash. [/QUOTE]
