[QUOTE="hark, post: 630461, member: 13196"] The SB-910 is more powerful than the SB-700, but both are quite capable in their performance. There is a setting that the SB-910 offers that isn't on the SB-700. I *think* it is that the SB-910 offers both TTL and TTL BL while the SB-700 only has TTL (not TTL BL). I left some batteries in my SB-910 for a few weeks which leaked inside. It cost me @ $180 to get it fixed. Nikon also replaced the flash tube even though the flash wasn't used too often--probably because it's more of a general maintenance service rather than needing it. Nikon does suggest to get the flash tube replaced every so often. I'm only mentioning it because one of the flashes you mentioned is used. It will give you an idea of how much a possible repair might cost if the flash tube starts to give you problems. Here's a little more info on the differences between TTL and TTL BL: [URL="http://neilvn.com/tangents/nikon-flash-ttl-vs-ttl-bl/"]my take on Nikon's flash settings - TTL vs TTL BL - Tangents[/URL] Oh...and both flashes operate similarly when making adjustments to them.
