Nikon SB-700 review roundup (updated 19 Sep 2011)

Nikon SB-700

Now that the Nikon SB-700 has started hitting store shelves, reviews are starting to appear. So far, the initial reaction has been a good one. The SB-700 seems to be a worthy SB-600 replacement, and in most cases is even giving the SB-800 a run for its money.

From the reviews thus far, the reviewers are in favour of:

• Smaller physical size (compared to the SB-900)
• Better balance when on the camera
• No apparent overheating issues
• Better gel system
• Improved interface (compared to the SB-900)
• Lower price (compared to the SB-900)

Below are links I’ve managed to find thus far. As with my D7000 review roundup, I will be updating this post as and when I find new links.
