Nikon SB-900

Hi everyone,

I have the Nikon SB-800, is it worth upgrading to the SB-900

I know its bigger and newer, but is it better

Thanks in advance!

To be honest, anyone looking at this end of the Nikon flash range should be able to answer this question for themselves.

If you can't answer it, then you don't need it.

I own both 800 and 900.

I'd say although the 900 is a step forward in many ways , it's not worth upgrading unless you have a reason to purchase it.

Fact is, the used price of the 800s has gone up considerably since many people are more happy with it's size, functions and power over the additional cost of the 900s.

A quick search on the Internet revealed the following comparisons:
