It's only slightly more powerful than the onboard flash and  can be be aimed up for some bounce. Not much power for many bounce situations though. It  saves your camera battery and its very compact. It works out good for  some of my close-up shots and some indoor people shots. For instance, I take it  for things like a special occasion dinner at a restaurant. It gives some  added light and I don't look like a news reporter. For a first flash, I'd recommend an  sb-700 or one of the popular Yongnuos. You can do more with it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
