Camera Flash For Nikon D3100

What external flash for a Nikon D3100? - Photography Stack Exchange

photo.stackexchange.com

I've been considering buying a Yongnuo external flash for a Nikon D3100, but I'm a bit confused. Which of them will work with my camera, the Yn565-ex or the Yn568ex Speedlite? I'd want the best one that is compatible with my camera, but I'd also not want to spend money on features that I won't be able to use. My advice typically for a first-time flash purchaser getting their first/only flash for on-camera use is to save up a budget of at least US$200, and consider getting a used OEM flash that doesn't have to get shipped to China for warranty service or rely on a reseller's ability to supply a warranty. The low-low price has to come from somewhere. You can find a used SB-700 for around $200, and its complete backwards/future compatibility with Nikon bodies is pretty much assured. \$\begingroup\$ @Michael Clark: I have seen those questions, but that didn't help. I want the more featureful but less expensive flash (from Yongnuo) for the d3100. \$\endgroup\$ ... Both will work fine if they are the model for Nikon cameras. Not so much as a first/only flash for on-camera usage. YMMV. I'd want the best one that is compatible with my camera, but I'd also not want to spend money on features that I won't be able to use. If you plan on doing off-camera shooting with the flash, then I'd say none of the Yongnuo line are terrific, because of the conflicting triggering systems that Yongnuo produces, and the fact that if you decide you want to add more features, you essentially have to repurchase all the triggering equipment (if not the flashes).

Is there a fix for this issue? The flash isn't closing anymore. (Nikon d3100) If I bought two of them could I set them as slaves metered by my camera? ... I think it's only TTL through the hotshoe, not the optical receiver. So you'd need a TTL radio set for TTL wireless. ... Hmm.. I just broke my sb-600 and I do some outdoor portraits every summer. I'm thinking of investing in an all ttl system instead of wasting my client's time manually adjusting the flashes. ... I have my trusty Nikon SB600 for years now. If you also want to use it on-camera from time to time, I'd recommend the Yong Nuo YN-468 II for the TTL. Make sure you get the Nikon version because there is a Canon version with the same model number. Posted by u/kcubrats - 5 votes and 6 comments

I need a recommendation on an external flash which: i) Can be mounted on say a tripod or umbrella stand and ii) be controlled using a sync cord using the Nikon D3100 Any recommendations? Click to expand... I recommend the Yongnuo YN-560. I have 2 of them--more powerful than my Nikon SB-600, perfect for off-camera, manual use, and can be had for around $65. That said, I would not recommend the OP to get a SB-400 for off-camera use with an umbrella. Modifiers takes away a fair bit of light, and the SB-400 is not really powerful enough to be used with modifiers except at very close range. -- – gisle [ See profile/plan for equipment list ] ... I am looking for an entry level external flash for my nikon d3100 (which cannot act in commander mode). The two you might want to look for are the Di622-II and the YN-467 (Nikon version). If you use a Nikon SC-28 cord (or aftermarket equivelant), both will do TTL. You can also trigger with a PC cord with a hotshoe adapter, or you can optically slave them off the built-in flash on your D3100. I know that the Nikon Sb-400 and up series are the best, but having just invested in a lens and what not, I am on a budget right now, and need something entry level to learn on.

Sure, if you are professional living of photography go for nikon flashes, they pay off anyway. But for hobby I couldn't justify it. ... I have a D7100 and use multiple SB900s but think they are too large for the D3100. My wife has a D3200 (but a D3100 earlier) and the SB600 works great. The menus/settings are not as simple as the SB900 but with your setup you may just want to set it to TTL and let the camera/flash make all the decisions. There's many inexpensive 3rd party flashes that will work fine with your camera. They won't provide the full feature set of a Nikon flash but they will certainly be better than the on-board flash. There's also very good Nikon flashes such as the SB-600 or SB-700 that will work very well. Though more expensive, they offer full compatibility with your camera and will last you for years, even as you upgrade your camera body. For example you buy a cheap 3rd party flash now, but in a year or two when you upgrade your current rig you will end buying a better flash. I did my research and ending up buying a SB-700 for my D7000 and love it. Got it for $326 at my local Camera Exchange. I purchase with the intention of keeping it till it falls apart.

Good luck! ... My thoughts are that you end up paying more in the long run. For example you buy a cheap 3rd party flash now, but in a year or two when you upgrade your current rig you will end buying a better flash.
