FLASH FOR NIKON D90 (for party situations)

[LENAAPPLE1974]

Hi everyone!

First I would like to thank everyone who has helped me decide on stuff in the past. As a result, I now have a 35mm prime, and upgraded to a D90 from my D40x! I still love my D40x, but the D90 is WONDERFUL!!

So on to why I am here. I am now in the process of upgrading my flash. I currently own the Speedlight SB-400. This flash is great, but when I am at a party, or doing the occasional wedding - I want to have the freedom right now of not using slaves at longer distances. FROWN FROWN. I know. I honestly want to keep the flash on my camera. I feel comfortable there at the moment. SO, I was curious what would be recommended. What do you all have? The SB-600, or the SB-900. Would it be necessary for me to upgrade to the 900? I do use no flash when necessary, and I always shoot RAW - if that helps anyone.

Thanks in advance for the help/suggestions!

You will be well served with the sb900. Even though you might not do a lot of flash work, the only reason I can think to go with the sb600 is the price.

I have 2x SB-600's. They cost me the price of 1 SB-900. Yeah, I guess price is a good reason to go with them I so far haven't had any regrets.
