Yes the SU-800 can run into problems, but in all honesty, I shoot weddings and bridals every weekend and train around 300 plus photographers, some of whome are so called wedding photographers, so I get a ton of out door and indoor work in good and the worst lighting and the SU 800 has never failed me bar one when I ran the battery out soon after I first got it :)

Actually, SU-800 sometimes runs into problems communicating with other flashes in broad sunlight due to IR (Infrared Red) communications. It's RF (Radio Frequency) communications that works flawlessly in broad sunlight.
-
Its simple, it sets up a 66 foot distance way of controling other flashes, free's up another flash and if you have a D3 you need it to work CLS, it also works great in sunlight, the pop up flash only controls up to 33 feet and will not work well in sunlight.
-
SU-800 lacks a flash head and will not fire, unlike with a SB-900.
-
Why would you use this when the SB-900 has a built in commander mode that you can use with any other SB-600, 800 or 900?

@OceanCold "unlimited" as long as they are Nikon's. :D
