I have an SB-800 and a couple of SB-600 but my refurbished SB-400 is often what I carry around when we go to parks and parties. My other flashes are used on more demanding situations such as graduations, weddings and portraits. The SB-400 is small and light enough to be carried around for a whole day while attached to your camera. Not bad for a refurbished flash. I've been using it for a year and a half now. Thank you Adorama!

Great when you need a little more than in camera flash or your camera does not have a built in flash.

This is a new external flash unit that provides i-TTL flash operation in a compact and lightweight body at an affordable price. The SB-400 offers a guide number of 98.4 feet / 30m (ISO 200), and effortless bounce flash function. The SB-400 is a flash unit for entry-level digital SLR users, but it is also useful for D2 series digital camera users as a handy flash unit.
The SB-400 has been developed to provide an entry-level external flash unit which is compatible with i-TTL flash operation. In combination with cameras compatible with Nikon Creative Lighting System the SB-400 is controlled in i-TTL and D40's M (manual) mode.Its flash head can be tilted in 4 steps, horizontal, 60, 75 and 90 degrees, and has a flash shooting distance range from 0.6m to 20m(depends on the ISO setting). Slow Sync, Red-eye Reduction and other flash modes can also be set on the camera body. With the SB-400, users can easily enjoy brighter and more natural lighting for better flash pictures.
