Along with the new D7000, Nikon has announced a new Speedlight, the SB-700.
The Nikon SB-700 Speedlight looks to be sort of an SB-900 Jr., with the ability to use it as a Commander or Speedlight Remote in Nikon’s Creative Lighting System. The SB-700 offers a number of other improvements over the SB-600, which make it appear to be a reasonable alternative to the Nikon SB-900.
The Nikon SB-700 should be available in November 2010 at an initial retail price of $329.95. Check availability on Amazon.com.
