Which speedlight flash to buy for Nikon D60?
I'm thinking to buy one of those speedlights for nikon, but I have no idea how to distinguish them… Please recommend me one!
The SB600 is all you will probably ever need.
Usually unless you all of a sudden start shooting a lot of events or weddings, the on-board flash is good enough
If you do decide to buy a flash, include a good diffusion filter like the Gary Fong universal
I was googling and found flsh light for you on the following sites.
KIT INCLUDES 6 PRODUCTS All Brand New Items with all Manufacturer-supplied Accessories + Full USA Warranties:
<#1> Nikon SB-400 AF Speedlight Flash PLUS+
<#2> Multi-Voltage Rapid Charger with 4 NiMH Batteries +

<#5> Precision Design Deluxe 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Camera Cleaning Kit + <#6> Cameta Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
OK,
sb-400: Compact, limited power, head does not rotate so not very usable when cam is in portrait orientation. Only a sensible choice if you must have a compact flash
sb-600: decent size, enough power for most situations, head rotates. The best flash for the first time buyer looking for a hotshoe flash
sb-800: Not a bad flash, sb-600's bigger brother. Discontinued and now fetching insane prices. IMO best avoided for most people.
sb-900: About the same size and weight as your D60. The thing is enormous. Does everything but make espresso. Definitely the best flash nikon ever made. Personally I would not want to use it on a small body, you get serious balance issues.
So, the sb-600 is probably your best option
