Nikon SB Speedlight Flash System
If you are a Nikon Digital SLR user, and looking forward to enhance your creativity beyond daylight, low-light and pop-up flash photography, your next obvious step is to look towards an external flash unit that will match your creative style with room to spare as you advance further into the realm.
Depending on your needs as an advanced enthusiast, a semi-professional or a professional photographer, a single flash unit popped on top of your camera is always a start. Go through the techniques of direct or bounced flash, the use of diffusers and reflectors and soon enough you will be asking for strobes and wireless setups and might eventually move yourself into a full flash photography studio.
These powerful and versatile Nikon Speedlights will put creative control of flash at your command. With Nikon's Creative Lighting System, as a natural advance to your interest and career, flash control is practically intuitive - fill in shadows, reveal detail, add a sense of motion and visual effects to your images - all with automatic ease and total wireless control - Nikon Speedlights: the flash of inspiration.

Nikon Speedlight Flash Guide by Ken Rockwell
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/flash.htm
Buy any Nikon flash (Speedlight) made in the last 15 years with a TTL setting and it will work perfectly with any modern or old Nikon film camera. The only real difference between flashes is how far away you can get and still have enough light. Honest, all the other features are meaningless for practical photography...

- Nikon Speedlight SB-900 Review by Thom Hogan
- Announced with the D700, the SB-900 didn't get as much mention or notice as the new camera, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the more significant announcement. No, I'm not dissing the D700, which is a fine camera, but the D700 doesn't break new ground while the SB-900 does.
