A: It varies on what pictures you want to take. I personally never use the built in camera flash. Most built in camera flashes work well for your average flash needs, but I hate the effect it gives. To me, the built in flash makes the picture look flat, as well as its a hard light that shows oils and other imperfections. With external flashes like the SB-700 you have the ability to indirectly illuminate your subject in a variety of ways causing a softer, more creative lighting situation (having the ability to "bounce"). That's why I like external flashes. If you are just a novice; the SB-400 is probably the best way to go. Its a great little flash as well as cheaper then your average speed light. It also has bounce capabilities in 4 steps up to 90 degrees (even though its not 360 degrees of pure swivel like the SB-700 its a great flash). Its light, small, and easy to use all while giving you great pictures when a flash is needed.
