    Customers like the flash capability of the product. They mention that the built-in flash is fine, but bouncing the flash off the ceiling gives them excellent fill flash. The flash works great, and is better than on-camera flash. It's super bright, and versatile, making it a great product.

    Worth The Money...
    I do a lot of indoor shooting and in some larger spaces as good as most people think the onboard flash is for their cameras they usually are limited to about 11-12 feet (give or take based on lens being used). Also you are not able to bounce the flash on your subjects. Hence why I purchased the SB-400 it is extremely portable due to its extremely small size. It has an adjustable flash with 4 different angles along with being able to use 2 - AA batteries. It is iTT-L compatible which means you can CONTROL the strength of the flash via your camera. I am extremely satisfied and think anyone who feels limited with their onboard flash buy this flash! I ordered the Sten-Flo diffuser for this and will post an update upon use.
