Pros: Fantastic. Works in all sorts of situations. Makes short work of off camera flash
Cons: must be in 'line of sight' of flashes used

This makes short of off camera lighting.

Pros: Faster access to the controls than SB800
Cons: Lacks power when used outdoor

I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread until I started to use it extensively outdoor. Either for sports or groups, once outdoor you need a bracket to point the infrared signal precisely to the receivers. Max distance is roughly 10 meters, passed that distance the signal becomes flaky at best and is a chore to aligned with the receivers ( the 10˚that Nikon recommend is mandatory). But overall this is such a nice piece of equipment that I wouldn't mind paying a bit more to have:
1-Double the power
2-A hinged foot (horizontal/vertical)
3-More channels
4-AAA batteries ( to use rechargeable instead of lithium)

Pros: Nice device to controll mutiple flashes
Cons: Limited line of sight control

Nice device, saves multiple trips to the flash when tweaking the setup.
Needs more power.
