 Terrific, Amazing Little Flash! November 18, 2008
Hudson River Reader (Hudson River Valley, NY)
What a great job this little flash does. More powerful than you would think. Works great even bouncing off cathedral ceilings and large spaces. Matches well with my D300. Great job Nikon!
Just what I needed November 16, 2008
James Howe (Paradise Valley, AZ)
I am not a pro but carry my Nikon D40 all over for impromptu shots. The SB-400 is small enough to carry around and does exactly what I want when I need a flash. I am not into HEAVY so the camera and flash must be lightweight and provide the technology for exceptional shots. I recommended this flash for all the reasons above and no negatives. Jimmy 6000
Excellent value. November 11, 2008
James Davis Sr. (Portland, Or)
The SB-400 complements my Nikon D40 and gets great results. Nikon digital cameras automatically control the power output of the SB-400 for great results every time. I bought this speedlight for the ability to use bounce lighting for great photos. The speedlight can be tilted up in various degrees to get the results you want. This product fills my needs and the price is right.
Exceeded my hopes November 7, 2008

Spectacular little unit for those that do not want the much bulkier, much more expensive models. I use this exclusively for bounce flash and the difference it has made is unbelievable. Highly highly recommended. In fact, many people say to first time DSLR purchasers, get the 50mm prime for low light, since it's so fast and so cheap. But I have to say, if your intention is shooting kids, for instance, I say forget the 50mm and spend your $100 on this instead.
 Great for Beginners (esp. w/ D40) to Flash Photography October 23, 2008
Timothy OBrien (Chapel Hill, NC)
As versatile as the SB-600 is, the SB-400 is a much less intimidating start to flash photography for the beginner. Using the 400 opens your eyes to the possibilities of bouncing and diffusing the flash. When used in the manual or priority modes on the D40 (and D40X), it is also a great introduction to manual flash settings. With this inexpensive flash, you can learn to bounce, diffuse, and balance ambient lighting.
Once you are done with this, you can then go on to Strobist-style off-camera flash photography and spend all that money on the 600s and the light stands, etc.
NB The SC-28 cable allows you to take the 400 off camera but it more than a few bucks.
