Im not a pro but from my daily usesthe flash quality is nice it will adjust based on your distance flash angle settings etc
It said used but it was just like a new product
My issue with the flash is that my original sb900 head froze up on me during a shoot
Price
First off it is replaced by the 910 then nikon list price is 494
This price is out of this world
Packaging/appearance
Because i got it so relatively cheaply and in came in the original packaging and works perfectly im really satisfied
I really appreciate the ease of switching from on camera to remote without having to dig deep into the menus
Even so it only takes a few seconds to add the gel on the sb900
Something else ive learned from experience is to use the slide out diffuser on the sb900
Competitiveness
I pair my sb900s with sanyo eneloop batteries and theyve performed pretty well
But you cant go wrong if you want a fullyfeatured topoftheline speedlight
I am a bit confused by the customer reviews regarding the sb900 af speedlight flash overheating
Before doing that i purchased a set of sanyo eneloop 2000 mah batteries and tried them straight out of the package

A little hot to lighter skin persons when using automatic

Even when you bounce from roof or turn flash upwards it can be problematic for lighter skin person when your close to 3ft5ft

The other problem i have had with my flash which makes me a bit angrier is that right after the warranty was up the flash locked preventing me from being able to swivel the flash making it impossible to bounce the flash when in vertical position

I plan on replacing all of the sb 600s with sb 900s
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I read the manual then went to youtube for a few extra tips
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The 600 has an interface that is very challening to use when changing to the different modes
