Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon SB-400 AF Speedlight for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Best of the D80 Accesories
Summary: 4 Stars
This is by far one of the best little flashes I have ever used. It isn't excessively bulky, it works great, fast, responsive and light. I use it as a fill, or sometimes as a trigger for a studio strobe. Either way I have no complaints. The flash is a regular flash, not a hyped/hopped up version like its big brothers. If the head rotated it would be the worlds best flash, but at least it has a bounce mode.
Pros - light, small, efficient, effective
Cons - no synch cord
Customer Review: Great synching with a Nikon D-40
Summary: 4 Stars
This 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. Customer Review: Great multi-functional, fast, and compact flash
Summary: 5 Stars
I 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.Customer Review: Great beginner flash
Summary: 5 Stars
I 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.Customer Review: Best accessory you can buy for improving picture quality.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
