VERY GOOD FLASH FOR THE D50
By Chip GVerified Reviewer from USA on 9/4/2009
Pros:
Consistent Output, Durable, Easy To Use, Fast Recycling, Lightweight, Versatile
Best Uses:
Fill Flash, General Use, Portraits
Describe Yourself:
Semi-Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Flash:

The other reviews helped me to select this flash for my D50. I got it yesterday, played with it last night, and within a week I will test it out on the job. Easy to use, a great flash unit. Ordering this flash was fine until India tech support called to confirm the order with me. As if, I was going to give personal information to overseas. I placed the order and am watching my bank account. So far, it's OK. Message to Ritz: Secure the software, and stop with the phone calls.

Comments about Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Flash:

It's small and easy to mount. It gives a warm light to inside shots especially and eliminates red eye. The bounce is versitle and recycles quickly. This flash puts the built in to shame.

This flash unit completely meets my needs. I have a 28-200 VR lenses which casts a shadow across the lower part of pictures taken with the built-in flash. This flash eliminates the problem. The unit is light, easy to store, and easy to operate.

Comments about Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Flash:

The built-in flash is great, but the bounce feature of the SB-400 makes all the difference for me, and it will for you as well. I also tested it using the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and the results we as different as night and day. Good job Nikon!
