At the moment I can't afford more than D that is way I'm in search for a speed light for it. I will be happy to have you opinion which will be the best one for the job. Thank you! If the show has stage lighting, you won't need a flash. In my opinion photos shot with flash of folks on stage don't have quite the same feel as those without and I used to shoot lots of musicians on stage with very little stage lighting. It is hard to say what settings you will need without seeing the lighting or knowing the type of show musicians, dancing, something else , but you shouldn't have any problem getting shots without a speedlight.
Now, if you are going to be shooting photos of folks that aren't on stage, then you would probably want one. The built in flash isn't very powerful, but would probably work well enough for some close shots of couples or whatever. I will let those who know more about flashes than me chime in on different models, but in my opinion most folks will never need anything more powerful than an SB At this moment I can't afford SB I would not get the flash you are linking to, as that is the Canon version.
Youngnuo have a better reputation than the other cheap flashes. Why not look for a used SB if the SB is too expensive? I agree with TBonz about not using flash for the show and as little as possible elsewhere as on-camera flash looks flat and you lose the feel.
The Yongnuo ex flashes are great buys. Make sure you get the Nikon version. Flash is an essential tool for a photographer, but you have to know when and when not to use it.
If you want to use a single, on camera flash, for some portraits. With the right flash modifier, you can get decent single flash portraits with a camera mounted flash. The rogue also adds some height to the flash output. You may also consider a flash bracket that will extend the flash higher from the camera body, and a more traditional soft box attachment.
I am now looking at: This. Or may be this? I would may be need a lens too as I am now with my mm. But I am not sure it would be the best. Sorry for the newbies questions but never use my camera in club light. Like I said earlier, Yongnuo have a good reputation. It works fully with CLS with the same limitation as the SB no master setting but can be mixed with Nikon speedlights seamlessly as long as you have a master flash on camera.
While the D built-in flash can't act as a controller for remote strobes, it's perfectly compatible with the system if you slip an SB flash, SB flash or SU commander into its hot-shoe. The control and creative freedom Nikon's Wireless Lighting system offers is truly amazing: See our Nikon Creative Lighting System review for more info.
Coverage and Range Good flash performance, with good intensity but uneven coverage at wide-angle. Our standard shots required slightly above average amount of compensation. Coverage and Exposure. Flash coverage was rather uneven at wide-angle 18mm , but much more uniform at telephoto 55mm. The camera's Slow-Sync flash mode produced very bright results without any compensation, though with a stronger pinkish-orange cast from the room lighting.
ISO Range. At wide-angle, the Nikon D's flash exposures started out a little dim at 6 feet, though brightness increased before decreasing, peaking at 8 feet. Image brightness didn't start dropping off noticeably until about 11 feet. At the telephoto end, flash intensity started out a bit dim at 6 feet, but didn't drop-off noticeably until about 9 feet, and became gradually dimmer from there on. Manufacturer Specified Flash Test. In the shots above, the D appears to underperform by a small amount relative to Nikon's specifications, producing slightly dim exposures at the rated distances with its ISO set to Our standard test method for flash range uses a fixed setting of ISO , to provide a fair basis of comparison between cameras.
We've now also begun shooting two shots using the manufacturer-specified camera settings, at the range the company claims for the camera, to assess the validity of the specific claims.
