Default What's best?

Hello..I need some advise.. Is it okay to have an external flash SB 900 for my Nikon D90? my friend got SB 900 and he sells it to me closely to the price of Brand new SB 700. What should I choose? Buy the SB 900 from my friend or go with the brand new SB 700 for my nikon D90?

thanks..

For use on camera? The 900 is definitely nice, and if you can get it (in good shape) for the price of a 700, then jump on it.

If you plan on using it off camera, youd be better served with a pair of 600s for the same price, assuming you can find them.

between the two choices new sb700 or used sb900 in excellent shape, then sb900 without a doubt.

I plan to buy YN465 (USD 70). But it seems the more expensive the better... I am still thinking of what I can do with the speedlight..and its limitation. I just afraid that, I can't do better photography even with the speedlight.

Nope. It's big, but it's not *that* big.
