£100 is not much but you could get this second hand SB600 for £154http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/used-equipment/used-flashguns/used-nikon-dedicated-flashguns/nikon-sb-600-speedlight/

Hope this helps.

Just a wee heads up, trading outwith the Classifieds is a nono on here :rules:

havent you thought about the jessops 360afd flashgun, brilliant purchase at a nice sum of £100, i would definitely recommend it.

I'd recommend upping your budget a little and going for a SB-600. I managed to get one off Ebay for £135 after being patient and holding out for the right one. Getting a Nikon flash will be better in the long run than getting a thrid party flash.

I dont know if a Nikon SB400 is suitable ?...may not have some features of the SB600 ... dont know

but I got a mint SB400 for £70 here in Classified for my D40...

SB-400 is a great little flash, good for bouncing, pretty powerful, recharges fast, protects your camera battery, works really well through the lens with the Nikon system as you would expect.

Limitation - head only rotates in the horizontal meridian, so if you use the camera in portrait mode you need to bounce off a wall. No manual settings, although it works so good in auto I've never felt like there's anything I wanted to change

SB-600 looks like a step up, if you need a fully swivelling head and off-camera.

You pays your money and makes your choice!

Not sure why you'd buy a second-hand SB-600 at that price when you can get a new one for a tenner more. Flashes can be abused (overheat) so I'd always buy new.

true.. but on advice from FITP i bought a clone TTL off-camera cord ..cheap as chips ! - and can now place flash off-centre on lightstand - better for portraits anyway ?
