Help me choose a flash for Nikon please

Thank you for your quick response. You helped me to confirm my original conclusion that **565 is good model.
I don't need something expensive especially not high-end Nikon flash so this will do for start.
As I said before I have Nikon SB-24 but I am sick and tired of manually adjusting every shot. It is remarkable how it communicates with F4 and that is what I need for start. SB-24 doesn't have any communication neither with D200 nor with D5100.
I guess that if I go deeper in this profession I will definitely purchase some better Nikon unit but for now order is placed there were only three units and I felt that it is good deal for $130 with shipping included.
Thank you all especially Nikonian72 & Musket

I have a Nikon SB 28 that I will let go for 125.00 It is in mint condition and hardly used. Bought it to use with my Nikon F5 to shoot the grandkids with. I know it works with a D200 but not sure if it connects with the camera fully. In other words fully automatic. But can test to see if you wish. Email me at lightwisps@yahoo.com if you have any questions. Don

I need flash which will work with Nikon D5100 and Nikon D200 and I Found this models under $150

Yongnuo YN-560 III
Does anyone have any other suggestion under $150 and does anyone have experience with one of these models?
Will both of them work auto with the camera or they need manual settings?
Thanks

They all work. It is understanding and learning how to use them that will be the problem, especially when you mate two different manufacturers of equipment together. If you have a problem, where do you go??

I've purchased 2 Nikon Speedlights on ebay in the past...very happy with my purchases. I do watch sellers ratings carefully and have asked very pointed questions. If they don't reply or fail to provide an adequate response, I avoid them!

Hi.
I am currentlyusing a yongnuo 565EX flash on my d5100 and d3100 cameras. Cannot fault the unit for both quality and performance. Can't believe the recycling times - even with bounce flas. At the price, you can't go wrong. Philphotog

Nikon is known for their flash system. I would buy a used Nikon flash or save for a good Nikon flash. Remember you can be penny wise and puns foolish.

Well ..I do have a Nikon and I do understand and learned - that it DOESN'T work the way I need. Cheapest Nikon will be SB-600 which is over $200 for used on eBay.
I f you read whole thread you will see that I need something that really does everything auto (like couple people and the manufacturer confirmed about ***565)
If there is a problem between different manufactures than you go to Kijiji.ca/Buy-sell

You have been very helpful since I do have D5100 and D200 (which will work same as D3100).
Thank you

The Promaster 7500EDF is basically a clone of a Metz 58 AF-1. I have one and enjoy it very much. I believe the current price is $169, a little over budget, but not much.
