Speedlight
Nikon SB-900
Who It’s For:
This is Nikon’s top professional flash and is perfect for anyone who needs a high quality, feature rich flash that despite its size, is very portable and comes with some great accessories. This has been replaced by the Nikon SB-910.
What We Like:Long Zoom Range: This flash will zoom out all the way to 200mm
SB-700
Who It’s For:
This is Nikon’s second best professional Speedlight, which is for anyone who needs a (comparably) light weight, powerful flash. It’s a little big on top of a camera, but it’s definitely worth the extra heft because this is a very versatile flash. It’s not as powerful as the SB-900 or SB-910, but it’s cheaper, so if you don’t need the extra features and extra power, this is a great flash for people on a budget.

Who It’s For:
This is Canon’s top of the line professional Speedlight which is for anyone who needs a ( comparably) light weight, powerful flash. It’s a little big on top of a camera, but it’s definitely worth the extra heft because this is a very versatile flash.
What We Like:Faster Recycle Time: Compared to the older model, the 580EX, the 580EX II has a slightly faster recycle time.
