Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: AllAbout Electronics = Wall Street Photo = Overpriced
Summary: 1 Stars
3/31/09 UPdate. When I reviewed this offering below, the seller was named Wall Street Photo. They have apparently morphed into AllAbout Electronics, at least for now. Neither of these seller names have any history posted on [...]. If the seller had been doing business under these names for any length of time I would expect that a history of customer reviews would be available. Draw your own conclusions...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 3 of these flashes. They work great. However, this model has been discontinued by most resellers in favor of the new SB-900. Nikon will quit manufacturing it soon if they haven't already. When brand new, around 3 years ago, the SB-800 sold in the $350-400 range. The new, more capable, SB-900 that is replacing it is $452 from Amazon today.
Wall Street Photo is also trying to sell other discontinued Nikon gear through Amazon. What's amazing is that they are asking a higher price than the original manufacturers suggested retail price when the product was new. See their offering of a long sine discontinued Nikon D2HS body.
When sold by Amazon this was an excellent flash. But unless you have money to burn, I can't see why anyone would pay what Wall Street Photo is asking. Perhaps they're hoping someone who hasn't done much shopping will stumble across the good reviews and whip out their credit card. Buyer beware!
