Budget flash for D40x

R.C.Anderson · 11 Nov 2010 at 23:56

I could do with a flash for my Nikon D40x, although it won't be used a huge amount, so I don't want to spend much on it, a few I've seen that could fit the bill are (and the prices I can find for them:

Jessops 360AFD - £60
YN-460 - £33 currently, on the bay as an auction
YN-465 - £44

Are any of them actually any good? I'm not that familiar with flashguns, so any pointers to what I should look for etc would be great.

I have the YN-468 and it's brilliant for the price.

From what I can see, that's a canon only flash? Is there a Nikon equivalent I can look into?

there should be a listing for both a canon and nikon friendly version of the yungnuo flashes. Well there has been for the flashes I've looked at :confused:

Yea, there is for most of them, however when looking for the 468, I only seem to be able to find canon variants...
