Flash for Nikon D70s

[Monty1]

I have been using the Nikon D70s for a while. When I have needed to use a flash, it has been the built in one on the camera - I have found that this is not that great.

I am looking at buying a flash, obviously the recommended ones are your Nikon Speedlight SB - 400 & 600, BUT, they are very expensive. I have found a brand called Nissin, which "seem" good, and costs a lot less. They have models that are compatible with my camera, which seems perfect - My need for a flash is minimal, but I want a better quality one than what comes built in. Has anyone used this brand?, or do you have any suggestions?
Regards,
Michael

SB 400, Teds have them cheap at the moment check out this link.

As a personal preference i keep clear from third party flash units.

Not sure how much you want to spend but this is a bargain.

Hi,
Thanks for this. I did see this on the Nikon site, but did not really read it properly! For what I want, this could be a goer.
Cheers

Hi again,
Just checked it all out, it does exactly what I want. Ted's Doncaster (Victoria) have them in stock. They are also the best price, so off to buy one- many thanks for your help.
