[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 829359, member: 48483"] I can tell you about the SB-400. There is no display or controls on it. Just an on/off switch and the strobe rotates up in 1 axis only for bouncing off the ceiling. It does not work in the Nikon CLS as either commander or remote devices. It is a flash for around a home to be used in iTTL mode. A major step-up from a pop-up flash with the ability to bounce the light in landscape orientation. In portrait mode you are trying to use a wall to bounce the light and that is not that desirable. Good at what it can do but limited in what it does. If you just shoot snapshots of the kids pets, a fine flash for that without confusing a user. Some cameras can manually control the flash power by the menu on camera, but I think the D700 could be too old for that feature. Not sure. I don't remember seeing that on my old D80. [/QUOTE]
