Nikon SB400 Speedlight

The SB400 is a solid performer--good, consistent output, quick recycling, and lots of flashes on a set of batteries. It's also quite compact, which I appreciate a lot.

Perfect for my needs

I don't do a lot of photography any more, but I love this unit, as it takes up where my built in flash' range ends, & fits my needs perfectly.

Lotza Flash in Small Package!!

I wanted the SB-600 Flash unit for my Nikon D80 but they were sorta expensive. Then I read about the new smaller SB-400 on Kenrockwell.com. He loved it and I really trust his judgement. I tried to get a good deal on eBay but they were going used for the same price Amazon had them new. I'm not a pro but I really have gotten tired of the limited range and redeye associated with the D80's (and most DSLRs') built-in pop-up flash unit. The SB-400, with it's tilt-up bounce flash capability is exactly what I needed. It works well, doesn't add a lot of weight to the camera when installed and fits nicely in my camera bag. It comes with a handy little carrying pouch too. Well done, Nikon!!!

Excellent flash unit... Money well spent.

I had doubtful opinions when I bought this with my new Nikon D40. I thought the 100 or so dollar flash would turn out to be a piece of junk. And with my extremely miniscule budget of only $650, I can't believe I got great camera with an even better flash! After all, after composition, the most important part of photography is lighting!

I used to have a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom. It's flash was quite unappealing. It was ugly and made photos look unflattering. But oh, no more.

The best part of this flash is the ability to bounce it at a 90 degree angle. The result is very nice looking, soft images. And only for $100! To experiment, I went to a tall and very dark cave. I brought my D40 and this flash with me, bounced it, and got extremely well-lit pictures. Wow!

This flash is small and I'm glad I did not buy a bigger one, it would be a waste of money (and space). I like that it takes only 2 AA batteries, which I can store easily in my pocket.

So overall, this flash was a very good purchase. If you have the money I recommend it instead of, say, another lens.

SB400 - A Great Flash for the Size

For a small portable flash that can overcome the 'wide angle shadows' that the built-in flash can't. I'm taking it with me traveling, and leaving the SB800 home.

The bounce works great in the horizontal position, but not in the vertical. That's the only small con.
