Devi's advocate here, the sensors in newer Nikons are so good that a flash is hardly ever needed. If ever. Perhaps if it's pitch dark and one is doing night portraits? I did some night shots last summer with the ISO set to 6400. They were noise free (I couldn't believe it) and looked great. Detail is missing but a flash wouldn't have reached the subjects anyway and would have annoyed the others on the tour.
So you have never heard of fill flash for backlit scenes????

High ISO doesn't fix bad lighting situations.

Oh please guys (you & MT Shooter) don't add factual or otherwise useful information to the responses of those who are clueless! Of course flash units, either on or off camera, are useless with today's high ISO bodies! 😎

Guess you're right, cause I just read somewhere that flashes are just a way for mgfrs to make money.
Now where was that?.....ahhh, right..... the internet! Where you don't need experience to be an expert.

Which one did you have for the F3? Nikon didn't make too many models for the F3.

I just bought the SB-700. I plan to use it about like you do. It seems like a reasonable compromise that fills the bill quite nicely.
