SB 400:
SB400 is a good alternative to the pop-up flash on a digital camera. The mail reason would be to extend camera battery life (the flash runs on its own batteries). The flash also allows you to bounce the flash off a ceiling to avoid red-eye. If you can afford it the SB800 or 900 would be a better option. Rechargeable batteries and the diffuser work great as well. Adorama we great in every way with e-mails throughout the whole order and shipping process.
