Control the flash ev... drop it if you are too close and adjust accordingly... After a few tries, you'd get the hang of it..

Ya, so that's why most people suggesting a SB600/SB800/SB900 is the best.wa so ma huan..
aiyah! JUST SAVE UP FOR SB600 THEN.
anyone selling pls pm me ;p
thanks everyone for their help. very very useful info esp for a newbie like me!
However until you have experience with the older/3rd party flash then you know how troublesome is it.
Good luck for finding a 2nd or new SB600.
yeah i guess i was abit impulsive to keep wanting a 3rd party flash, maybe because i was desperate! :nono:
must be patient! :lovegrin:

Try it before you claim so... With the small diffusers such as omnibounce, etc doesn't help much. And with a large diffuser, you'd loose too much flash power.
Try it out first then you'd understand better.

mm sounds logical. but the stofen omnibounce, around how much ah. $20?
and do ya'll use rechargeables? or just alkaline throw aways.

alkaline if you got extra $$ to throw away. (come throw $$ to me) :devil:
harsh shadows??? depends on how you use it and in wat situation, well again it's not easy to explain here in words.
Do the experiment yourself, bounce it, direct it, reduce power, diffuse it, etc... all are the possible ways to trial and error to get the image you want in the camera.
There are also light sphere and other "strange" items that can be use with your flash to reduce shadows and all the prices after you add up can get you a SB 800.
yeah! dont let impulsiveness rule over you, wait get 3rd party then regret.. waste more $$.
must listen to the veterans here, they're the more experienced ones. compared to us.. young padawans. :bsmilie:
haha yeah... gonna go broke today... D60 dual lens kit + drybox + SB600... think for the next few months can eat grass liaos

For me, I shoot direct with negative ev dialed in... Some shoot with a omnibounce, some use other diffusers... go try it out and see which u prefer.
guys, when you use your sb600/sb800, you guys set it to front curtain right? then how come when i set it to front curtain, and turn on my sb600 unit, the shutter speed on my camera is always 1/60, and my aperture when i change it from f4-f8, the ss remains the same! and then when i fire a shot, the flash is extremely harsh/flat. :/
