 - Great synching with a Nikon D-40This little flash does a great job with even exposures for a Nikon D-40. Aiming the light up and bouncing it off even 17 foot ceilings will allow for nice soft lighting. Rating:  - Great multi-functional, fast, and compact flashI bought this flash for my Nikon D40 and find this flash great for several reasons. It is very compact (smaller than your fist), comes with a protective case, seems to be pretty fast (hence the name Speedlight I guess), and best of all it is multi-directional so you can bounce the flash off the ceiling for superior looking indoor shots. Rating: - Great beginner flashI have the Nikon D40x. My brother, who is a professional photographer recommended this flash to me. I was concerned about adding extra weight to my camera. No worries here. The Nikon SB-400 is very light. It uses 2AA batteries (I bought rechargeables). It's very fast to get ready. And the results...Wow! I took some indoor pictures, bounced the light off the ceiling by tilting the flash up and the skin tones were beautiful. Very natural. It makes my pictures look (almost) professional! Even my brother was impressed! So, if you are looking for a lightweight flash to make your pictures look great, then I highly recommend the Nikon SB-400. Rating: - Best accessory you can buy for improving picture quality.If you want to really improve your indoor photography, then an external flash is the best accessory you can buy! The SB-400 is great. It is small enough that it doesnt look out of place on the D40, D60 size cameras. It lets you fire the flash up and bounce it off the ceiling for a much better look in your pictures. The only thing you need to go along with this flash is a good set of rechargeable batteries. It takes 2, and they last a good bit, but I wouldn't want to be putting alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries in it. Its great overall. I never shoot indoors without it. Rating: - Outstanding little performerThis diminutive little fellow is an outstanding performer. Not high-powered, but fully capable of meeting the needs of most amateur photographers -- much more power than built-in flashes with the very valuable bounce-flash that built-ins lack. When I bought it, I knew it was "compact" but I was still surprized at its very small profile. Very much easier to carry along than typical automatic flashes. I only wish it were available in a version (slave version)that could be used on other brand cameras. All-in-all, Ideal for me and many other amateurs.
