VERY GOOD FLASH FOR THE D50

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.

Comments about Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Flash:

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!
