Ooooo Flash

Speaking of digital flashes (and perhaps the lack of need for them), I bought one today for my Nikon D80. Its a beautiful Nikon Speedlight SB-600. I went to the store with the intention to buy an adaptor for my old SB-27 but it just seemed stupid to buy all this crap just to use this old flash. Also, they totally had a really hot, young, smart guy come over and help me. I'm a total sucker. But really though, what sold me was the fact that these flashes can be wireless. So you can put it anywhere in the room or hand hold it or set it up on a stand and it'll go off on its own. No extra slave required. Gone are the days of that tight cord that came out of the front of my hot shoe, often times falling in front of my lens, and me trying to stretch that cord to an arm's length away from the camera. I never knew how much I needed this.
