The SB400 is a very convenient flash to use . It is 100x better than pop up flashes . I use the SB800 for my work, as it's a workhorse than we use in studio as well. I have 6 of those, BUT I always wanted to have a small flash to carry around as a replacement to pop up units . The SB400 is the answer . It is convenient, small, rugged , and does well on batteries both alkaline or rechargeable . This is the 2nd SB400 I have. I was sad to see it discontinued , because I gave my previous unit to my kid to use on her D3200 dslr. As a fill in for use in daytime ... it's perfect for shadow and backlit subjects . It's not for large groups or shots from 15-20 feet, but as a fill in its perfect. The color ans exposure feels ans looks natural and doesn't look washed out . I wish it worked with my other strobes in the Nikon CLS system , but not a deal breaker , as that's not its intent. It is low profile and rugged: it feels solid and can be left on the dslr without any hassle . I would definitely get more if I could ...especially for a D850 or D5 that doesn't include a built in pop up . Read full review

This great little flash looks brand new and works perfectly with my Nikon D500. Even though it's long discontinued, it's quick and easy to use, which is sometimes what you need. My D500 doesn't have a built-in flash, so I wanted something tiny to use in the situations when I might have used a built-in flash. The output is great for my uses, and the recycle time is extremely quick. It came with a great little storage bag. I don't know why Nikon stopped making this useful and tiny flash, which according to the research I did, is better than the larger SB300 that replaced it.

The Pros: This flash is small and easy to pack and take everywhere. It's far more powerful than the camera built-in flash and it recycles fast. I was able to use burst mode with it; something that is impossible with the built-in. It also uses AA batteries and they seem to last for a few hundred pictures. It can be used to bounce the flash off the ceiling, but not the side walls. The Cons: If you use the Auto White-Balance on your camera, this flash will produce a yellowish tint when used directly, as compared to the camera built-in flash which will usually produce a neutral while light. This flash will also produce a reddish tint when bounced off a perfectly bright white ceiling. So, make sure to change the white-balance on your camera to the flash setting to get good results with this flash.Read full review

This is truly an amazing flash unit, especially considering its small size. I also have an SB-700 and the much smaller SB-400 puts out almost as much light as the larger SB-700 flash. It also has a rotating head allowing you to do bounce flash shots with ease. The main reason I purchased this unit is its small physical size. Considering its performance and features it will definitely become my most used flash unit.

This is a great little flash for everyday use. Limitations, of course. It doesn't pivot. And even when pointed upward, the flash forward is pretty too strong. I put a piece of tape along the narrow edge to bounce light off the ceiling and block forward light. I'd had mine for years, but accidentally left it in a restaurant. Really happy to find another one on eBay, especially since they're not made any more.
