[QUOTE="§am, post: 142893, member: 9187"] There's a lot of good advice here, but you've not really pertained as to why you want an additional flash. Portraits? Ok yes, you may need one, you may not - when and where are these portrait shots, whats the ambient light like, do you need to add effects or reduce shadows etc. Concerts - probably not worth paying anything for a flash for use here unless you're up close and personal to the act! Also - are you using the onboard flash now - do you find it's not as powerful as you like, or is it limited in what you want to do? We're all here to help, but you have to get some basic understanding of what you're actually after too. I'd say get a SB-700 and be done with it - but then others have suggested non Nikon alternatives which are cheaper. But is a SB-700 what you really need, could the cheaper SB-400 be more for you? Who knows?? Only you can help us to help you by providing more in depth specifics of what you need and we can then advise accordingly :D [/QUOTE]
