SB900 is the Nikon flash for "dummies". Very simple to use, the only one I've ever been able to figure out. You can use it "off camera" and the camera flash will fire the off camera flash. As a matter of fact you can set the on camera flash to not fire and have the off camera fire. You can set up several SB900's around and have the camera fire them all even if it can't see the flashes. No cables, no trigger mechanisms required. I bought mine from B&H Photo, I think for $400US each. This is of course the newest Nikon flash. The flash will also zoom, I think 17 to 200mm. Just checked looks like they have gone up in price...I paid $812US for 2 of them in December, had to get them in time for a tax write-off.

If you know the "secret" then everyday is a good day!
