SB-800 and SB-400 size comparison
Mr. Rockwell pretty much sums it up:
1.) Bounce Flash.
2.) Coverage with ultrawide lenses - bounced (diffuser alone helps but still casts a shadow at ultra-wide ie. 12mm)
3.) To replace a bigger flash.

It's great for indoors where happy snaps happen, but if I could only have 1 flash, it would be the SB-800. The SB-800 comes with many accessories (diffuser, integrated bounce card), and has robust remote abilities; any P&S can trigger the SB-800 like a strobe (SU-4 mode) as demonstrated below. In contrast, the SB-400 has no remote capabilities so I purchased the SB-400 for traveling purposes only. The built-in flash does 90% of what I need for fill (for vacation type photos), so if this flash was any larger and didn't have an adjustable lens, I wouldn't have considered it.

Sb-400 on D80

Slightly off-topic, the SB-600 has remote capabilities but needs a commander flash. This isn't a problem for D70, D80, D200 bodies since the built-in flash has a commander mode. However, the SB-600 doesn't have the SU-4 mode that enables other light sources to trigger it.

Re: The One, The Only...Box Shot Thread! (part three)

a VERY generous member of this board sold me these for a pittance. he knows it and i know it. these are in such magnificent condition it's like i'm doing an act of sacrilege just mounting them. they're are good people out there. i need to do something for someone now.

Canon PowerShot S230
5.4mm 1/60th F2.8

We went shopping yesterday while trying to get out of the heat (102 in the shade; up to 122 in the sun) and came home with this.

My wife says it's my anniversary (Oct 14) & birthday (Oct 6) present. I wonder how long she's going to make me wait to open it.

Picture was taken with my old S230. That camera has been good to me over the past 5 years.

Believe me, I'm still drooling. The images are simply amazing. Wide open it's better than any of my other lenses at most apertures. I can't really see a difference with the 1.4x attached either.
Just as well for the price right.

congrats. especially love the idea of a 50mm on the FF sensor..
It just makes sense since the 50mm lens used to be the standard lens sold with most SLR's in the past.
umm really?
