[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 590967, member: 12496"] Welcome to the forum. I would suggest buying a lower price import flash at first, like Yongnuo YN565 or Neewer VK750. They will work well and can teach you a lot, and a good bet you'll never need more. Do think about using Bounce flash with them, that is the good stuff. The D3200 cannot do HSS, so you don't need that feature for it. HSS is kinda specialized anyway. iTTL is Nikons system of automatic point and shoot flash, like compact cameras are automatic flash exposure. Most flash models will also do Manual flash mode too, where it is your job to always see the flash power level correctly. Most any Manual flash will work, but for a Nikon, automatic flash must be iTTL. If it says "for Nikon", it will be.
