Tilting head to allow bounced flash
Good build quality
Lightweight and small enough to fit in pocket
Good zip-up case to keep out dust and reduce scratches
- Pity it won't tilt down slightly for close-up work

Score 8.0/10+ A usefully powerful flashgun in a small package. Very good battery life as well.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Owns Nikon D40.”
Score 9.0/10+ Very simple and un-complicated to use. Smallest of Nikon's flashes (though it's still not tiny!) so convenient to carry with you. A massive improvement over the built-in flash - gives much more natural warmer colours when bounced on the ceiling.
- Only tilts, does not swivel. So bounce flash can only be used when the camera is used 'normally' (i.e. not tilted, or rotated).

Score 10.0/10+ Light weight, small profile, very easy to use. Effective flash range and excellent adjustable tilt.
- Can't fire several shots very quickly, but that's to be expected at this level.

Esham, Slough
Score 10.0/10+ Excellent, very simple to use. No fancy LCD or buttons at the back, programs through your D40/60.
- None

Sean, Sutton, Surrey, UK , “Keen amateur photographer”
Score 10.0/10+ Very small, and super simple to use. Just slip it into the hot-shoe and switch it on. Batteries last ages and provides plenty of bouncable fill light. A perfect compliment to any Nikon DSLR (I use it on a D90)
- None really - not hugely powerful but what do you expect from the simplest strobe Nikon make?

Paul, Stevenage
Score 9.0/10+ Light and easy to accompany main camera body. Great for supplementing my in-built flash.
- None, suits me fine

Roger, Solihull
Score 10.0/10+ Plug into my D200 and the electronics takes care of everything - particularly pleasing in this less expensive model is he ability to use as a bounce flash by twisting the flash head.
- Not as powerful or comprehensive as the more expensive models, but I expected that because it's a lower - spec model. All-in-all, excellent value for money unless you want to flood a cathedral with light!

Very compact and lighweight, but feels very solid.
Just clipped on to the hotshoe of my D40 and I was away.
Great value for money.

Score 10.0/10+ Very small and light flash. Does the job very well and I do not think you would need a more advanced model unless you needed a more powerful flash for shooting at long distances..
- None.
