Nikon Flash Sb-900

Retroillumninazione non funzionante

Recensito in Italia il 3 ottobre 2011

Tempi di consegna al dir poco eccezionali...nessun sito come Amazon è così preciso ed efficace.
Per quanto riguarda il flash beh è il top della gamma Nikon quindi non ha bisogno di presentazioni.
Il prezzo è al dir poco straordinario dal momento che negozi come Euronics Eldo Mediaworld e tanti altri lo vendono a prezzi che variano dai 470 ai 530€.
362€ è stato un bellissimo regalo...e ringrazio Amazon per questo grandissimo affare che mi ha fatto fare!
Sicuramente continuerò a spendere su amazon, ormai è una droga per me!!!

La trasparenza e l'onestà del rivenditore

Recensito in Italia il 8 novembre 2019

Questo flash è potente a sufficienza, nonostante fosse usato funziona perfettamente. Una nota MOLTO NEGATIVAper il rivenditore: quando ho aperto il pscco fi Amazon il flash era senza scatola originale, il vetro dove c'è il lsmpo è " scorticato", il diffusore incorporato è scheggiato... dovrei pagarlo sncora meno di 229euro( tanto mi é costato) Grande Amazon ma rivenditore furbo, pessimo e mi sento preso in giro, per adesso non l'ho denuncio.

Eccellente Flash

Recensito in Italia il 23 settembre 2011

Mi pare molto scorretto, e fuorviante, dare una stella solo per un manuale in lingua straniera. Il prodotto è eccellente, lo posseggo da oltre un anno e ne sono più che soddisfatto. Il top di gamma della nikon è un riferimento assoluto nel mondo dei flash portatili, altro che una stella. Io ne ho appena comprato un altro per fare un regalo.

ECCELLENTE

Recensito in Italia il 18 febbraio 2013

Creatività ai massimi livelli, robustezza, qualità indiscutibile Nikon e praticità. unico neo può surriscldarsi con un azione molto sostenuta e continua di scatto, entra in protezione e devi spegnerlo e riaccendrlo dopo qiualche minuto. e' stato risolto con il modello successivo il 910.

Arrivato nei tempi promessi. Il flash e ottimo ma ho un problema con le pile e penso debba andare in assistenza

Recensito in Italia il 6 luglio 2018

Certo dire un flash come questo non va bene...perche il manuale è in francese....è il massimo del provincialismo ....
Ottimo prodotto ne ho due e lo preferisco addirittura al nuovo 910...

Recensito in Italia il 4 ottobre 2011

come da titolo ottimo prodotto,ma attenzione alla protezione termica.....
consiglio di disattivare dal menu la protezione termica se non volete che vi pianti nel bel mezzo di un matrimonio come e' succeso a me...........
il flash e' all'altezza di illuminare ottimamente qualsiasi scena, anche grazie hai vari diffusori di luce in dotazione,le dimensioni sono notevoli,così come il peso, lo consiglio per macchine di una certa dimensione,diciamo da d300 in su, è in grado di pilotare altri flash,parabola zoom,orientamento praticamente 360°,più un utile posizione verso il basso che io uso per ritratti.ovviamente scatta anche staccato dalla macchina senza cavi, che altro dire........ compratelo perche è veramente valido e con le sue funzioni si pone al top dei flash Nikon. buon lampo a tutti!!

古い年代のj機種ですが充分使えます

Recensito in Giappone il 4 dicembre 2023

光量があるので、絞り値F８で遠距離撮影でもしっかり深度のある撮影ができました。古い年代の機種でも充分使えます。ニコンが凄いです。

Recensito in Francia il 7 marzo 2014

son prix peu refroidir, mais l'investissement en vaut la chandelle. Voilà deux ans que je l'ai acheté et après 15 000 déclanchements rien à redire, il est parfait, le laser est un vrai avantage, le déclenchement en rafale est très utile et performant pour le reportage photo.
Le controle CLS fonctionne à la perfection.
Je pense pas pouvoir trouver mieux en la matière pour le moment

Gran flash

Recensito in Spagna il 17 settembre 2013

Cumple sobradamente con todas las expectativas que se puede tener a nivel aficionado. A nivel profesional puede ser insuficiente en eventos sociales donde se necesitan muchas fotos seguidas a plena potencia, ya que tras varios disparos seguidos da una alarma de sobrecalentamiento y entra en suspensión. Esto me ha pasado en una boda, aunque por suerte solo era un invitado más. Para el resto de usos es magnífico, tiene una gran potencia y permite un control manual total. Viene con su funda, su pie, sus filtros y su difusor. La compra lógica hoy en día es el SB-910 (que no adolece del sobrecalentamiento rápido), pero me encontré este flash a 268€ y no desaproveché la oportunidad que me dio Amazon, un flash profesional a precio de flash de aficionado.

The Truth About it's "overheating malfunction"...

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 dicembre 2008

This review represents an update after nearly 3 years of heavy usage. See below for the update.
-------------

For all those of you, who are reading these reviews, and can't quite figure out why Nikon would make such a "deficient" product, as this SB-900, this review should forever put the debate to rest.

It has been suggested that the SB-900 is a sub-standard unit, because it will "overheat" at times, causing it to shut down, until it finally cools off, allowing it to eventually resume operations. There are some reviewers on this site, that will lead you to believe that this "safety" feature is an engineering flaw and thus, all would-be buyers need to beware, and seriously look elsewhere.

I recently purchased this flash and used it heavily during a conference this past weekend, in which I was one of two event photographers. Admittedly, I was a little cautious and reserved when I purchased this unit, secondary to several negative reviews regarding it's habitual "overheating malfunction".

Reflecting on it's performance this past weekend, I am pleased to report that It was used heavily in all situations and it never "malfunctioned" - not even once. Obviously, there were a couple of times when I was too far from the subject, causing the unit to discharge at full power. But, as an observant user, I recognized that this was my clue that I (not it) was doing something wrong. Thus with minor and reasonable modifications, a good outcome was reliably achieved.

Interestingly, the owners manual does state that if the unit is used too heavily, it can get hot and shut down temporarily, as a precautionary measure. But it must also be noted that the owners manual for both the built-in camera flash and the SB-800 say the very same thing! In other words, if ANY flash is abused, misused or in any way used in a manner that is inconsistent with its designed purpose, it will overheat and shut down.

This is NOT a design error on the part of Nikon. The overheating will only occur if the flash is fully discharged upon multiple consecutive occurrences, on a subject that is too distant for the flash to appropriately illuminate. If the flash is found to shut down, it is a sign that one must move closer to the subject or add more flash units. Again, overheating and shutdown is NOT a design flaw, it more appropriately represents operator error.

Additionally, the new design is truly welcomed! The controls are MUCH better placed and much easier to use. It recharges much faster and works very smoothly. I am very pleased with Nikon's new design and any logical user will feel the same. You will not go wrong with this unit and undoubtedly, will find it a pleasure to work with on a regular basis.

In summary: Do not be mislead by those users who are using the unit inappropriately. If you have never caused your built-in camera flash or SB-800 units to meltdown or "freez-up" (pun intended), You will likely not experience any such event on the SB-900. It is a very well designed unit, is much easier to use, and functions much more smoothly than any flash Nikon has put out thus far.

Enjoy!
-----------------------
Review Update 2.5 years later after MANY additional events.

OK, now after having the flash for a total of nearly three years, using it under all circumstances, including weddings, & conferences, I can again conclude that the flash is a very welcomed update. It has NEVER shut down, although once, under unusually heavy usage, the temp did get unusually high and I was aware that it certainly could, but never did.

The only conclusion that I can arrive at, is:
1. My unit is fault-free and others are flawed???
2. I am among the those not abusing the unit???
3. I have realistic expectations and some others do not???

Again, years later, after MANY heavy events, I have NO regrets whatsoever!

Also, if the unit was such a lemon, why is a 3 year old unit, selling for MORE than it originally sold for new, on eBay???

I would love to buy another unit, but I have a hard time paying MORE for a 3 year old unit then I paid for mine NEW, years ago!

For all would-be-buyers, carefully take everything into account. The unit is truly a serious design upgrade from the SB-800. It works much better and again, I own BOTH units and only use my SB-900, for many good reasons.

After years of usage, I can only highly recommend it and would dearly like to get an additional unit for similar events.

Great Flash, But No Manual In The Box

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 febbraio 2011

This flash is wonderful; especially for shooting portraits indoors using it off camera (remote) and bouncing light off ceilings and walls. I recently bought my second SB 900 (yes, it is *that good*) from Bargains 2000 via Amazon so as to have more complex, and easily portable, lighting set-ups. (Read posts by others here for detail about the flash itself.)

In an effort to shave a few ££s off the price I clicked on the 'xxx New' link under the main Amazon price. There was one on offer - from Bargains 2000 - at a slightly lower price so I bought it.

Delivery was speedy, two days. The flash appears to have come via Amazon France.

The box was the standard Nikon box, BUT DIDN'T CONTAIN THE OFFICIAL MANUAL or the neat little colour booklet on lighting set-ups for different situations that was in the box when I bought my first SB900 from a shop. All other components were present.

Luckily I already had these booklets - and already used a SB900 before; but if you were new to this flash (or Nikon flashes generally) the lack of a manual could cause serious problems. No one else that has posted here seems to have complained about this, so it could be one of the ways a few ££s was shaved off the official price. Something to bear in mind if thinking of going for one of the cheaper options available via Amazon.

I'd also suggest those new to SB flashes to get hold of a book on Nikon's Creative Lighting System. I got 'Nikon's Creative Lighting System Digital Field Guide' by J. Dennis. Useful also for lots of other advice including basic model poses for portraits. The manual goes through the settings; but doesn't really explain how to get the best from them.

I also found some videos on You-tube that explained how to set up a commander/slave system on a D90 that I found useful when I first started using a SB900. It is quite simple, once you know how to do it.
