[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 247717, member: 12496"] Bounce and bounce features (including decent power) is pretty important for any walk-around work indoors, but bounce is not of much use outdoors (no ceiling). Any flash isn't going to do much for sunsets, storms, landscapes - distances are too great, and flash is only correct exposure at some one distance anyway. The most flash could do is light some foreground stuff (but that is a use for them). A flash can help for wildlife, fill in sun or birds in dark trees, etc, but distances are relatively far, and again, you need all the power you can get. I think your use needs more than the SB-400, and it is discontinued anyway.
