Go for Nikon SB-6/7/8/900 You won't be able to use them wirelessly via commandermode. SB-800 and SB-900 can be used a "dumb" slaves by using their SU-4 mode tho.

But both SB-600 and SB-700 would be a HUGE improvement from the built in flash.

I love the Di866 and plan on buying more, it's so much more flash for the money. Not saying Nikon isn't great, but it's not the only option. People will recommend the Nikon 9/10 because they haven't tried the Nissin.

Nissin has been around for a very long time, the Di866 will give you so much more bang for the dollar and allow you to control a Nikon SB-600, 700, 800, 900 or another Nissin off camera down the road.

I've tried nissin. that's why i'm using all Nikon original flashes now :lmao:
My Former Nissin flash is now a taser that produces 4000 volts.
So i guess Nissin would do better tasers then flashes :mrgreen:

Ok, maybe not all people...

Which was it? In fairness, all flashes can have problems.

It was a Nissin speedlite Di622. I'll get some pictures of it

Get the SB600.

Nikon over Nissin because the TTL system Nikon uses is GREAT.

Sb600, because you will not need or want anything more unless you upgrade your body.

I use a SB600 with my D300s and D3100. I have yet to find myself limited due to the SB600.

Di866 supports wireless TTL as well
