[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 188419, member: 6573"] Both speedlight and 50mm f1.8G will be able to address your concerns which is typical when using a lens with a f3.5-5.6 aperture. The lens needs a lot of light indoor. Bounce lighting will offer a more pleasant image, lowers your ISO, minimizes motion blur, and minimizes red eye. If the price of a Nikon SB 700 is too much, look for used items on craig's list including a Nikon SB 800. There is a a newly released SB 300 that can be bounced except in portrait mode but you can get a cord to address that issue.
