Hi there has anyone got one yet?... whats it like in comparison to the SB600, especially if you dont need a 5fps+ flash ?
Ken loves it:

After reading the review, it looks like that will be the perfect companion for my D50

Travel ah yes thats what I am thinking....
Travelling to Asia and the Middle east in Feb/Mar.... so should be good.

Had a quick play with one at a shop the other night. It's quite light and compact (thus good for travel - in terms of size, looking at it from the top, it covers a smaller area than the AS-19 stand that comes with the SB-800)
Tried it with the flash head tilted at the various angles (60, 75 and 90) and gives very good bounced results. In portrait orientation, even though you can't tilt it upwards, had very nice results tilting the flash head side-ways.
Think I'll pick one up for travel use.
