In 15+ yrs of casual photography, after owning a 350D, 30D, 40D and now Nikon D7000 and many lenses, what was my most VALUABLE purchase? My little SB400 flash.
Nikon SB-400
Most of my shots are outdoor with reasonable light and the minority are indoor: i've tried to adjust by cranking up the ISO, using large aperture (f/1.4 etc) but the best results by far are to take this little flash, angle the bounce towards the ceiling and shoot away at f/5.6 (usually ISO 400).
I did not want to spend $$ on an accecssory that is big and used 5%-10% of the time. then i found this little flash...
This is where some of you reading this will shake your head and say 'duh, of course' but hopefully some amatuers who do not use flahes and try to crank up the ISO (like i did before) will find this valuable.
Hope it helps a few folks,
