SB26 vs SB80(DX)

hongsien · 19th July 2003

Hi all,

I need advice on whether I should get the SB-26 or the SB-80 or DX version.
Which one has more features that works on the F90X? Thanks!

Get the 80DX (80 is only available in DX). 26 has been discontinued and Nikon (esp. Nikon SG) will not service it.

If you have the budget, go for both

, cos can use the sb26 as slave unit..

dear Uncle HS,

you would not go wrong with any of the 2 flashes (sb26 & sb80dx). but i'll second CK, sb80dx is a better buy.

I suggest going for the SB80dx, as SB26 has been discontinued long time ago and those that are still available in the market are definitely more than 3~5 years old. Flash has its life span, especially the bulb and the capacitor. SB80dx is still very new...u can get one 2nd hand and worry free (no guarantee though).

mpenza · 23rd July 2003
