5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent lightweight flash unit for D60 or D5000, 27 Dec 2008
By Barry Ross (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon Speedlight SB-400 External Flash (Electronics)
As I have a D60 with an 18-200 mm lens so my comments pertain specifically to that camera/lens combination.

While researching suitable flash units I selected the SB400 instead of any of the larger SB600, SB800 and the new SB900 units due to the following reasons in order fo priority:

1. Size - the SB400 is small enough to go in the camera bag or a pocket. Therefore it will actually get used.
2. Ease of use - basically just put it on, turn it on and let the camera control the output.
3. Cost - very good value for money.
4. Power output - powerful enough for a medium sized room and most situations I'll find myself needing a flash for.

The only slight limitation is the lack of tilt to the side for bouncing flash in portrait mode but this is quite minor considering the other benefits. Taking a wider shot with some cropping solves the issue in any case.

I recommend this flash unit without reservation.

Postscript March 2010: I now have a Nikon D5000 and this flash is equally suited to the D5000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small and very useful for indoor photography, 12 Nov 2008
This review is from: Nikon Speedlight SB-400 External Flash (Electronics)
This is a great little flash. It fits nicely in a small pocket, weighs absolutely nothing and helps immensely indoors. The head tilts upwards at 60-, 75- and 90-degree angles. As a previous reviewer mentioned, it communicates with my camera perfectly ( currently owning a D300 ) to get spot-on exposure every time.
The only time it struggled was in a room where the ceiling was painted black and the bounce was limited. Still, this was easily resolved with flash-metering before taking the shot.
The beauty of this flash is that there are no settings to change on the back, you just switch it on and start shooting. I mostly use it in rooms with friends, and get amazing colours, as if there is no flash at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly effective bounce flash, even wide angle, 18 Oct 2009
By P. Ward (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Nikon Speedlight SB-400 External Flash (Electronics)
Having swung over to a Nikon D90 from Canon film SLRs after a long interlude with high end compacts, I knew the essential accessory was a bounce flash. My Canon Speedlite EX series flash is big, zoom head, 4 batteries. It hardly ever left the house. I decided I wanted something smaller and not a drag to carry around with my D90 and got the SB-400. I've had mine for 3 months now.

Practicality: It is small and light, I take it everywhere with my camera, even on holiday, on days out, etc etc (so it actually gets used unlike my Canon used to). I'm glad I did not spend more money on a larger Nikon flash unit.

Colour and exposure: Colours are great, no blown highlights, exposure generally good, sometimes need to up the flash compensation.

Coverage: The surprising thing about this flash is its even coverage when used at the wide end of a 16-85mm zoom. At 16mm (24mm equivlent) this flash lights up a room briliantly and my old canon speedlite struggled at 28mm which the zoom head supported (then "full-frame" of couse). This means the normal wide end (18mm) of most kit lenses will be easily handled.

Features: There are no advanced controls on this flash, just on/ff and lock lever (neat - again one up on Canon) but it can be controlled from in camera buttons and menus as much as the built in flash. This means on a D90: max 1/200th sec synch speed and gives you front/rear curtain, slow synch, auto fill in, manual, auto red eye, flash exp compensation. Repeating (strobe) and commander mode are not supported. What else do you need? Wireless remote if your camera body supports it? Well...

Lastly for those that want swivel too, you can buy a hotshoe cord for a bit over £20, so you can point it in direction you care. So that makes it a bounce, swivel, off camera flash for £120... Oh - the 2 AA batteries last a long time...

This flash is a no brainer for most situations, so use the money you save on its bigger expensive brothers and buy another lens instead. If you can afford and want the more expensive solutions, get one of these anyway for portability. Go buy. I cannot comment on the seller, bought via another supplier. Look for prices under £100, or near to £95 to compete with the high street or retail park stores.
