You asked about a flash. I chose the SB-400 and love it. Looks like I mistakenly wrote SB-800 in my post! Have to fix that. I previously tried the SB-800 on another camera and found it too big and clunky to use. The SB-400 is perfect for 90% of the shots in which I need a flash.

Do save up for the lens. In my opinion, you only need two lenses: the Nikkor 18-200mm and a Tokina 12-24mm or Nikkor equivalent for twice the price.

Ken Rockwell also wrote a review on the Tokina. They are the only two lenses I use now–and I love them to death.

BTW: Troy’s having a lan party tonight. Wish you were in town :)

Peace,

Brian
