There are other flash brands that will work just fine with your D3100. However if you do use another brand that will mount on the camera flash shoe make sure it is Nikon compatible. Some flash brands use a high voltage to trigger the flash. Nikon uses a low voltage as a trigger. That difference is enough to burn out the flash circuitry in the camera. There is a device that will mount between the flash unit and the body that will correct the voltage so that the two can be used together safely. You can use any flash wireless as long as the two are wireless compatible or made so with an external trigger.</p></blockquote><p></p>
