Flash speedlights come with a wide range of features.
The Nikon D80, released in 2006, is a 10.2-megapixel digital SLR camera. The D80 features the Nikon Creative Lighting System, making it compatible with many Nikon-produced Speedlights, sometimes called flashlights. The Nikon Creative Lighting System gives photographers full control over the flash. Having more control lessens the amount of time required between pictures, and the intuitive flash controls improve the quality of the images.
