It does offer additional versatility.If you shoot with flash indoors, in your face overkill flash is the main reason built-in flash units suck. You'll be surprised at how much better and softer your flash turns out when bounced off the ceiling. The drawback of the SB-400 is that it doesn't swivel, so if you turn your camera for portrait shots, the flash will be pointing out into space somewhere.It's fast, light, cheap...and better than the default option. The SB-400 isn't really strong enough for off-camera flash options, but it works with other flash units should you decide to set up a multi-flash system someday.</blockquote>
