best flash for a d40

[rikki1q]

well as the title says ive been looking for an add on flash unit for my d40 as the inbuilt one is crap to be frank

would the sb400 or sb 600 be decent choices?

sb-600 all the way

Out of the 2 suggested go for the SB600 as when you decide to upgrade your D40 to a D80 or D200 you will be able to use it remotely.

However, if you can afford it or can wait to save a little more I'd go for the SB800 as this a little more powerful, allows you to use an external battery pack (if you want) and has a PC sync socket to allow you to use wired studio flash setups.

I have the SB600 and I wish I had spent the extra £50-£70 on the SB800 when I bought the SB600.

I bought the SB400 for my D40x but now i have added a D80 to my equipment i have just got the SB600. I will be selling the SB400 if you are interested.

from me for the SB-600, well worth the money IMO

SB800 if your budget stretches to it, if not SB600 does almost as much for less £££

Another for the SB-600, it will see you well .
