I would say the most you can shoot with acceptable images is at iso 1600. but even if I had fast lenses, I wouldnt shoot them at open apertures because if youre planning to shoot a few in the pictures youll need depth of field. so most id shoot is f/4I dont know the settings youll be shooting but if the place is dark then even a FF sensor can only do so much and im guessing only the D3s/D4/D4s would be able to capture images with nice ambiance as well. ive shot with my D3s in weddings at iso8000 on the dance floor. if I went in with your situation, then id invest a little before doing so. id buy 2 manual power slaves and mount them with clamps somewhere that would somehow light the room a bit. meaning. place one near the bar and have it shoot up to throw some fill.  fire them with triggers and have the flash on the camera as well. slaves like the YN-603II would be fine. I shoot weddings with sometimes horrible lighting. sometimes the whole event is outdoors and there is almost no light whatsoever as the DJ lights really isnt going to impact the exposure enough.as well you do know the neewer flash is a manual only? so basically every shot youll have to adjust the exposure. just FYI.</blockquote>
