Thinking of SB 900? or Just got SB900? - SB 900 Discussion

The SD8a may work, looked at the plug in area, unless they change the size and positioning of the connection slot, the 8a plug should go in, the SD9's plug has 2 comma shapped tails at either end. The SB900 looks more study and the flash tube is much bigger - it would probably burn out less frequently with high intensity shooting.

it did not as i have another camera on with sb800 on it.

It's amazing how such thing always happen when you have to shoot something crucial.

It took the sb900 a good 3 to 5 mins to resume operation.

That's is with the termal cut off on.

i have not tried with it turned off. I'm interested to know if with it turned off, will sb900 keep firing even when the temperature is too hot.

Grin if it does and you do over fire when you hear a placck sound then it is time to call it a night unless you have a spare flash. The cut off is there for a reason or rather say $150 or more worth of reasons.

Anyone knows if there are any features on the SB900 that would not be able to work on the D80? Came across somwehere that the auto WB detection are only designed to work with the D700 and D3. Is that true? Any other features that wont work?

read whatever reveiws I can find but still could not get an answer...
