external flash for a nikon d60?

p1tse · 14 Apr 2009

bro in law wants to get an external flash for my sister d60

any recommendation?

he was looking around £100, and looked at jessops

i was happy with my nikon sb-400 for my d40, are these better than the bigger non branded ones?

i think the sb400 is a bit of a basic flash that limits to what you can do, you cant go wrong with the jessops one for £100 with also has a built in reflector and diffuser.

oh really

so the jessops one at £100 are perfectly fine?

last year when i was looking people didn't rate the non branded ones

Do you want it for TTL or is it mainly for off camera work?

I had a sb-600 which I sold as I wasn't using it enough, now have Nissin Di622. Does most things the sb-600 can do, just not quite a quality feel. For £80 or so it's a no brainer between that and the sb-400 .

just want it for a bit more control as the inbuilt is too harsh on objects, mainly their babies when it's direct
