Our Take on the Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight:
The Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight has a faster and efficient operation by deploying Nikon's i-TTL automatic exposure system found in many of the Nikon cameras. You must use a compatible DSLR with Wireless Remote Controller and Wireless Remote Adapter to use the power system of the radio control efficiently. You do not need a line of sight to activate up to 6 groups of flashes that are up to 98' away through its camera and flash. Besides, its shoe-mount flash cooling system comes packed with a heat-shedding design that assures up to 100 bursts at full-output without overheating the system.
Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight built-in cooling system is formulated for efficiency plus versatility. It not only absorbs the heat effectively but also extends smaller flash possibilities without sacrificing the performance. The all-new layout of the Speedlight enables faster access to some of the most commonly used settings and also ensures fast and intuitive operations.
