For what its worth I'd save up a bit more and go for a new sb 600.(or maybe second hand from ebay a bit cheaper) It will give you all you need if you are just starting off and will still have plenty in reserve for when you progress. I believe it's fully compatible with most Nikon DSLR's so if you decide to upgrade your camera in a few years (providing you stick with Niks) it will still likely meet all of your flash needs, so ultimately saving you money. PS I'm not a Nikon employee or anything but have been more than happy with all the Nikon gear I've bought
