got a sb900 today, and have to say... its a HUGE improvement over the 800!
i love the 800 but the 900 is a massive step up! the menu system is EASY to use, the 800 is well known for being a complete c**k! to use! the 900 is very easy to main menu button does most things but the command dial etc has all the shortcuts there easy to use!
the 800 to control slave flashes through it was very hard and pretty much always required getting a manual out, the 900 i didnt even look at the manual and worked it all out!
its got things like the coloured gels you get with it, have magnetic stickers on it, the gel clips in to a holder and you clip that on the flash, the magnetic stickers send a signal to the flash which tells it which gel it is, so that it can tune itself to the gel! its all very smart!
i have a shoot tomorrow for a friend who is a makeup artist will take some pics and post them on here if she is cool with it!
