[QUOTE="southwestsam, post: 242648, member: 15810"] I'm considering an SB-700 for my next purchase to go with my D5100 and increase the versatility of my 18-55mm. the reason being, a decent f/2.8 lens with a wide to mid tele range is about 4x more than the flash! my only concern is that I don't know much about flash and reading about it seems quite daunting. So I wanted to ask... 1. How easy is flash to use/figure out? 2. Will an SB-700 (or similar) allow me to get natural looking scenes (I.e. without that disgusting flash glare look) whilst being mounted on camera? I know I could use it off camera with a commander but that would double the cost of the flash, right? 3. Is the in-camera flash capable of anything close to a dedicated flash unit and should I get used to using the inbuilt flash first before dipping into the pockets for a dedicated flash? [/QUOTE]
