The feature you’re talking about is Liveview. It’s being added more and more to digital DSLRs but was rare in the past. Here’s a very recent discussion thread about the issue:

where can you buy it now? also does anyone have any idea about how many flashes in a life time these are able to do? ie a d3 is tested to 300,000 shutter clicks, but what about a flash?

The “little eye hole,” as most people call it, is called a viewfinder. And the function where you can compose pictures by looking at the LCD is called live view.
There are lots of DSLRs that have live view so I can’t name them all, but if you have a specific camera that you want to know whether it has live view or not, just check its specs.

TTL means “through the lens” which basically means that the flash and camera work together automatically to determine the correct power the flash should…flash at. There is more to it but I don’t feel like typing that much lol.

oops, actually, my bad…you CANNOT buy SB800 new anymore…the ones i see you can buy for about $220 is the SB600.

as for flash life…i have no idea. you’d think manufacturers would have this information readily…but i guess the life varies among samples…maybe…

IMO, considering that you can buy an SB800 at LESS THAN HALF of the price of the SB900, it’s a no-brainer to choose SB800 over the SB900 UNLESS you need the extended zoom feature.

nice review, i am about to buy a flash. i need it for daily regular use, as well as portrait, event,fashion work and it obviously performs very well but i want to ask you is sb900 any good through a softbox or an umbrella. i know “proper” flash like profoto and elinchrom are the best but i don’t have that much money, to buy these flashes and a huge battery. thanks!
