I know Jessups do a flash with Bounce, swivel and Zoom(280D) for about £65.00 but dont mind paying upto a £100.00 for a flash.
Gosh this photography lark is getting expensive. I find myself saying "I need..."

Hi Nogbad,
Afraid its all about choices. Depends on what you want really. There are 3 stages of expenditure in flash.
1) The most expensive option is also the easiest in use. The D70 uses Nikons InteliFlash which is very, very clever. The camera controls the flash exposure and you just worry about where to place the gun relative to subject.
2) Auto flash. A sensor in the flashgun will limit exposure depending on the setting
you apply. A bit more knowledge of flash required.
3) Cheapest. All manual control but far greater knowledge required.
Before you can consider option 2 or 3 you need to see if in your custom settings you can set your pop up flash to manual. If you can then it can be used as a trigger for options 2 or 3. If you cannot we will need to ask for another Forum member who is able to do a test so I can understand the options better.
