I have two 800's and I get content that looks superb. You will want to get a wireless trigger that will fire the lights. The camera flash syncs at a different speed than the strobes, and it ends up being a totally unuseable image. The alternative is using a sync-cord which is a wire that goes from your camera to one of the lights. The 2nd light detects the 1st, and fires at the same time.

Anyway, you can't go wrong with these lights. They've lasted me forever and I've never had any problems with them. Their warranty basically states that if you break a light, you ship it back to them and they'll send you a new unit for super cheap. They'll even do it if you're out of warranty. When you call, the same lady answers the phone each time. They're very cool people to deal with.
