[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 4547, member: 986"] Mark: Neither image is very good but they do make good examples. To be fair, I did no post processing on the first image. I did adjust the white balance and applied a graduated filter to the lower right corner in Lightroom on the second. I bought it used from a friend that didn't want to "hassle" with an external flash. It came up when I mentioned that I had just returned from a trip where I didn't carry the SB-800 because I was using only one bag for the entire trip. (I like to travel light.) I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I do. I think maybe because I always have it? I have had very good results using the [URL="http://www.lumiquest.com/softscreen.htm"]LumiQuest Soft Screen Diffuser[/URL] with the pop-up flash but it still didn't allow me to bounce. Like I said above, you can't use the SB-400 as a commander (which means you need a cable to use it off the body or to trigger additional flashes) and can't adjust the flash off of forward facing mode. The SB-400 is definitely more powerful than the pop-up but I don't have the Guide Numbers handy. A nice comparison of the SB-400 versus the SB-600 is [URL="http://www.ehow.com/about_5394457_nikon-sb-vs-sb.html"]here[/URL]. Ed [/QUOTE]
