Heres a question im hoping you guys can help with.
What Flashguns will work with Nikon D80 excluding the obvious SB800 and SB600.
Im looking more at a list of third party ones. Also hoping the list might contain what features will and wont work.
Thanks |

If you are referring to speedlights, then you can see in your manual that most older Nikon speedlights (which you can find used on eBay and elsewhere) will work.* Looking at my SB-600 manual there are many speedights that work across the whole range.
My first speedlight was a used SB28. Worked nicely, but it doesn't do TTL with the D50. That's why I asked for the SB-600 for Christmas.
The thing to know is that you need to be careful with voltages. The wrong speedlight could fry the camera.
* The manual for the D50 states "Use Only Nikon Brand Accessories. BLAH, blah, blah." Read into it what you may. |

| I know there are a few out there like this sigma Sigma @ b&h. But just curious why are you so sold on 3 party? Nikon SB-600 and 800 can't be beat. The sigma is $149 the SB-600 is $185. For the extra 35 bucks I will take the Nikon all day everyday. |

If you plan to use Continous Drive with Flash the SB-800 will strobe.
Alot of people are like what, why would you want that.. well i guess no ones done a 3 shot burst indoors on somethign with a minor amount of action @ only iso 400.
Oh well ISO 800 @ Full res with Flash -2 on my new point and shoot and the flash will strobe and the camera gets 1.5 FPS.... sucky but not bad considering without flash the camera gets 1.9. I was suprised that power down or not the flash strobes. And with the power down it flashes fast enough to be considered "Strobing".
