Hot shoe flash
« on: July 01, 2011, 07:30:27 AM »
Time to get one as this is one of the basic gear for dslr i think  :Laughing_on_floor:

Completely no idea how to go about choosing a flash that is suitable and reading the specs.

What should i look for?

Any sifu can help?

What are the price range for a "decent" one anyways?

Maybe 1 step above basic and nothing big bucks.

Am using a Nikon D7000 if that makes any difference.

Nikon SB-600 or the new SB-700.

Reference for comparison.

For only hotshoe flash, from my own experience, no.

So how do we determine if a particular flash is of  good spec or not?

What do we have to pay attention to?
