Compact little flash
Great little travel Speedlight ,fits in your pocket and works on my Nikon D850 just fine.
Pros: Small and lite
Cons: Does not take the place of a full size flash
The SB-300 Speedlight works with most hot-shoe equipped Nikon Coolpix and SLR cameras to improve the look of your flash photography. This powerful-yet-compact add-on flash lets you shoot in low-light conditions from far greater distances than your camera's built-in flash will allow. Plus, you get the added ability to direct light where you need it for more professional-looking photos.
The SB-300 tilts to 120 degrees, enabling the soft light that comes from bouncing the flash off of a reflective, color-neutral surface like a ceiling or wall. And if you need to soften shadows with a bit of fill-flash, the SB-300 calculates the exact right amount of light necessary for proper exposure by firing an imperceptible pre-flash to gather information about your subject.
All of the necessary connections are made by simply mounting the flash to your camera's accessory shoe. With advanced automatic exposure control, this easy-to-use flash works together with your Nikon camera to provide just the right illumination for your photos every time.

Great little travel Speedlight ,fits in your pocket and works on my Nikon D850 just fine.
Pros: Small and lite
Cons: Does not take the place of a full size flash
The flash is definitey significantly brighter than the standard flash and has significantly improved indoor photos. I wish I had bought one awhile ago. It's tiny compared to some of the other Nikon flashes, so although it's more limited, it is very easy to carry around. It depends on the purpose, but for an everyday flash it's great. The light is on the whitish side, but that doesn't bother me.
Pros: Bright, easy to attach, use, transport, only two AAA batteries required
Cons: Limited functionality, doesn't swivel left/right, no LED light for video like SB500
Simple flash, provides the right light to take great pictures. Used with a Nikon D5500 and Nikon D200.
Pros: Easy to install Adjustable hinge
Cons:
This is a small, compact flash. Real nice and powerful, fits in your pocket . Comes with a caring case.
Pros: Small, light, sheap, powerfull, just 2 AAA bateries, nice caring case.
Cons:
Overview: The simple-to-operate Nikon Speedlight SB-300 flash has been optimized for use with CLS-compatible (Creative Lighting System) digital SLR (Nikon FX/DX format) cameras. It can also be used with Coolpix cameras that support i-TTL flash control. Non-CLS-compatible cameras can use the flash with limited features. The flash unit comes with a soft Polyester storage pouch.
Creative Lighting System (CLS): Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS) offers additional flash shooting possibilities with digital cameras by taking advantage of a camera's digital communication capabilities. CLS is available only when the SB-300 is used with compatible Nikon cameras with CLS.
Adjustable Flash Head: The flash head can be tilted up to 120° enabling bounce flash photography. The flash has stops at 0° (facing straight ahead), 60°, 75°, 90°, and 120°.
Batteries: The SB-300 requires 2 "AAA"-sized Alkaline or Ni-MH batteries.
