Based on K. Rockwell recommendation, I bought a used SB400. Excellent for any walkaround usage, light fill application. Well built and efficient use of power. Easily a 9 on a scale of 10 for most applications.
As per prior suggestions on HH I have gone with Godoy and couldn’t be happier. Works as well as my ancient SB800

Can someone provide me with a reasonable costing speedlight for my Nikon D7500. Perhaps under $150
First I bought a Neewer TTL NW561 for my Nikon D5300, but as it was too much of a manual flash for my liking I bought a second one, a NEEWER iTTL, a NW982II. The little âiâ in iTTL makes all the difference. This flash is controlled by the settings in the camera. And it zooms with the camera as well.
I paid ~$40 each for them, on eBay.
If you buy online - make sure you have 4 electrical connectors on the flash shoe NOT ONLY ONE.
If you decide to go with Neewer, check ebay, the prices should be better than Amazon.

I've used 3 Yongnuo 560's for the last 5 years. Very satisfied with their quality and light. They seem to be bulletproof too :)
An observation I would make is related to user friendly. I have an SB600 that I use infrequently and have to dig into the manual a bit for a refresher on how to get around on its settings options. I have read that the SB700 has a more intuitive settings system. Plus it has greater range. But my needs are limited. You might want to look for YouTube videos for guidance, most are poor but some are pretty good.
