Nikon SB-910 Speedlight Unit

Product Information

Just as a general rule, I’d like to be able to access ISO controls a lot easier on both my camera bodies, and flashes…But that’s a whole other discussion for a whole other article!

The SB-26 seems rarer on the used market and I have no experience using one - it may also be a good choice.I have an oldish set of Phottix manual triggers that are still super reliable on the Z bodies with the SB-910. I had my SB-5000 since the release date and use them on regular occasions without issues so far, I think the quality and durability legacy will continue with the SB-5000 being known for a top-of-the-line flash.

The D500 brings the camera closer in line with the newer SB-5000 speedlights using RF vs Optical legacy. With a host of pro flash features including; precision i-TTL flash control, Manual with Power Ratio, three illumination patterns for specific shooting environments, wide zoom range from 17-200mm, and streamlined controls and menus—it's no wonder that Nikon is the overwhelming choice when it comes to flash photography. The performance of the SB-500 exceeds that of the SB-910 and has faster recycle times with AA batteries than that of the SB-910 + a better cooling system. Easy enough to understand, though still a bit clunky (the SB-800's settings are much more clunky in this respect, so Nikon made progress here).There is almost no audible noise from the inverter as it recycles; just a light noise if you used much power and then it goes silent. The inverter (power supply) for the cyan-green electroluminescent (EL) LCD backlight always makes a bit of a whistle when lit. To update firmware, you copy it from the Internet to a memory card, and then putting this card in only one of the newest DSLRs and copying to the flash!
