A sweet-spot Nikon speedlight: powerful, portable, and genuinely easy to use.
The SB-700 is one of those flashes that just fits—small enough to live in the bag, strong enough to bounce in real rooms, and smart enough to grow into off-camera lighting when you’re ready. This one is used in EXCELLENT condition, so it should show very minimal wear and is fully functional.
Why photographers like the Nikon SB-700
-
Serious output in a compact body → guide number 28 m / 92 ft at ISO 100 (35mm) → plenty of punch for bounce flash, small groups, and quick portrait setups.
-
A head that goes where you need it → tilts -7° to +90° and rotates 180° left/right → fast, flattering wall/ceiling bounce without fighting your angles.
-
Coverage that adapts to your lenses → Nikon lists coverage 14–120mm (DX) / 24–120mm (FX) → cleaner spread across wide to short-tele focal lengths.
-
Nikon i-TTL + manual control → supports i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash (with compatible bodies) and manual modes → easy for “let the camera handle it,” but still ready for intentional lighting.
-
Built for Nikon Creative Lighting System setups → supports commander/remote functions, with two wireless groups (A/B) and four channels → a great entry point into multi-light Nikon CLS.
-
Practical recycle performance on AA’s → uses 4× AA and Nikon lists ~2.5 sec minimum recycle time with common battery types → dependable pacing for portraits and events.
Tradeoffs to know
The SB-700 uses Nikon’s optical CLS system (line-of-sight) for wireless control, not built-in radio. For bright sun or around corners, many folks add a radio trigger later—but for bounce flash and indoor multi-light work, CLS is still wonderfully effective.
Condition
EXCELLENT — very light wear. Fully functional.
