Melville, NY—The SB-300 flash unit offers a compact and adjustable Speedlight option for photographers who want to explore creative lighting at an affordable price point. Small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, it provides more power and coverage than a built-in flash for Nikon DSLRs and Advanced Performance-series Coolpix cameras.
“Nikon’s system accessories are designed to let the user capture their memories in vibrant detail and tell compelling stories through imagery and HD video,” added Bo Kajiwara. “While the new 18–140mm lens presents a versatile and powerful lens option for DX-format shooters, the SB-300 Speedlight introduces the benefits of flash photography to a wide range of users, specifically those who use either Advanced Performance Coolpix or DSLR cameras.”
The new Speedlight covers a wide-angle 18mm in the DX-format and operates via simple on-camera controls, making it aimed at beginner photographers. The SB-300 tilts up 120º, allowing for the use of creative bounce flash to soften shadows and diffuse the flash.
The Speedlight’s firmware is upgradeable through supporting DSLRs, and it is powered by two AAA batteries. Additionally, the SB-300 features thermal cutout protection to prevent overheating when capturing rapid flash images in succession.
The Nikon SB-300 has an SRP of $149.95. nikonusa.com
