Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

many folks have complained about the battery door breaking prematurely. Mine has too so I thought I could get it repaired under warranty since it was less than a year old. I was wrong. They want $130 to put the new plastic door piece on. If you do buy this be ultra careful with the battery door and keep your receipt because Nikon will not help you unless you pay $130. Here's the response I got: Thanks for contacting us regarding the repair of your SB-700 speedlight.
