Great addition to my gear... Very versatile, easy to setup and gives great results. April 17, 2012
Outstanding TTl flash yet from Nikon Despite a previous review from BJ, I have yet had any problems with the SB910 with remote transceivers as long as you start from the top down on turning power on, start with the Flash head then the Transceiver, then turn on transmitter attached to camera then camera, then reverser order when shutting down. I as well don't want to bore you with critiques that have already been said on other reviews except that it plows under the over heat problems that the SB900 was plagued with in fast or long duration shooting episodes. These are gems of the flash head world for ease of operation and TTL operation, great as remotes in conjunction with the RU800 controller or teaming them up with other SB 910's 900's 800's and if line of sight obstructions are not a problem then your all set for short distance remote operation but if you need to shoot around corners then team these great flashes up with Transceivers to increase your options of placement and distance.

A MUST Have in your bag. The SB-910 is a great flash unit that anyone should have in their bag. I got it as soon as it came available to be added to my bag with 2 SB-600 and an old SB-25. I like the fact that can be used as Master and Remote and It can control my other units as well. Overall it is a great product although it doesn't come with the color filter holder like the SB-900. I don't like the soft bag it comes with, it is too big to put in the camera bag and prefer something similar to the SB-600 case. Beside this little details it is a nice product and deserves 5 stars.

Impressive, powerful features to the smallest of its details. As a semi-professional photographer that I am, I can attest that the SB-910 speedlight will be an indispensable, almost addictive professional’s light instrument for years to come; it is big and a bit heavy, which clearly tell of it’s strength and powerful features it contains; it has a large, lit screen which is easy to read even from a few feet away, and all the data you need to know, it will be displayed right on it. the SB-910 is compatible (and the King) with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System, or CLS which enables functions which involve communications between speedlights and the camera(s); and once a photographer gets serious about getting superb pictures, using more than one flash can prove extremely useful and that’s where the extra money paid for this flagship speedlight seems easily perceived (use it as a Master Flash Unit); other features like the i-TTL mode and the Flash Compensation worked seamless from the very first shots I took using my Nikon’s D700 camera; like expected, in order to use the SB-910 to the maximum, the photographer must not only read the manual and get very familiar with the flash’s buttons and features (I’m still learning and getting used to my new SB-910, since I got mine 3 days ago), but you must practice often, and learn to criticize you own work sharply; I personally like the freedom the flash has allowing moving the flash’s head to the sides to manipulate light, which works delightfully; as well, the SB-910 comes with a built-in light bounce card and built-in wide panel and both can slide out of the flash’s head as needed; a light diffusion dome and two color filters (all included) help to play and manage the light emitted by the speedlight as desired; and a speedlight stand (AS-21) is included as well, to help keep the speedlight standing and directed the way you need it; and overall, the features this flash has will make it much easier to accomplish light manipulation to obtain the pictures you are eager to obtain. So let’s get snapping and cracking, people; good luck to you. December 22, 2011

Can the SB-910 control up to 3 different groups of Speedlights individually even if the SC-28 or SC-29 is used?

Let's say I have three SB-700, and I wanted all the three SB-700 to each have a different output, can that be done?

I also assume that even it the flash is mounted on the SC-28 and 29, it still can control all the 3 groups off camera?

Regards,
Zane

Answer: 
Sure, as long as the SB910 is in master mode and connected to the camera either on the hotshot or by the SC28 or SC29 it can handle 3 zones of flashes each one at different outputs. You can even mix iTTL with Manual flash on different channels.

Answer: 
Using an external AC power supply for the SB-910 is actually a great idea; it decreases the 'recycling' time for the flash to be ready to be used again; just keep in mind that even if you use an external AC power supply, batteries still must be inside the flash, so consider purchasing 'rechargeable batteries'; and in the SB-910 manual says: "Do not use Power Cord SC-16 when connecting the SB-910 to the Nikon DC Unit SD-7; use the SC-16A instead". There are also battery packs which can be used externally, but I believe your question is about using AC power.

Answer: 
The Sd-8A and SD-9 can be used with the 910 so you should be able to use an external power supply of some kind.

Answer: 
Yes, it is built in the top part of the flash's head, and there's also a 'built-in wide panel'; this feature allows you to use only one or both at the same time; depending on your light needs.

I have some very powerful AA batteries known as Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries, each of which has a voltage of 3.2V
What will happen if I put four of these batteries into the speedlight itself at the same time? Will it work or die?

Answer: 
I would presume so. I can't see why it wouldn't, in most ways it is very similar. I don't Think the master/slave ability has changed at all.

SB-910 AF Speedlight Review

by Rob Galbraith
December 2011
Rob Galbraith reviewed the SB-910 Speedlight for his website, He said, "overall, Nikon has taken a flash with a good interface [SB-900] and made it really good." One of the features he really liked was the new hard plastic clip-on filters. Galbraith noticed a faster recycle time in the SB-910 and better thermal protection. "The SB-910 is like the SB-700 in that it will slow the rate of recycling first to increase the chance that the flash will keep on going," he explained. "If you like the SB-900, then you'll like the SB-910 even more," he added. "If you need Nikon's most powerful and full-featured Speedlight, and you need it to not shut down during hot, fast-paced shooting, then the SB-910 is the clear choice over its predecessor. Based on what we've seen so far, the SB-910 is shaping up to be a great new flash for Nikon shooters," Galbraith concluded.
