Nikon SB-400

By WDC Team (whatdigitalcamera.com)

Launched at the same time as the Nikon D40, the SB-400 is the 'baby' of Nikon's conventional Speedlight flash family....

Lightweight, creative options, tilting reflector

Lack of swivel action

Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Flash

By (pcworld.com)

I'm very glad I bought this flash to complement my new camera. Works great, just point and shoot without any complicated adjustments. Flash itself is very compact and easy to carry. It also comes with its own zippered carrying case.

Easy operation, excellent for beginning photographer, yet delivers very powerful lights when needed. It gets rid of that lens hood shadow

It does not swivel

Lightweight, easy to travel with. Strong flash, ease of use, horizontal bounce, build quality, excellent locking hot shoe, simple on/off use, runs on AA batteries, fast recycle time

no sideways bounce which is difficult for vertical pictures
