550 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 i believe the d80 can... but yeah the slave flashing is rather impressive for the camera... I wont ever use them though hehe. Last time I used slave flashes was taking pictures at a day camp hehe, that was a hassleblad camera though. I have been thinking about picking up a micro drive, but I fear it wont be able to write faster than flash memory, thus possible slowing the process down :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you noticed, I have a battery grip attached to the D70 too. It's not Nikon branded, because Nikon doesn't make grips for the D70s. So I had to get it from another source. The grip also holds two Nikon EN-EL3 batteries for twice the shooting time. Plus the camera feels much better in my hand.The slave flash function is good for extending the main flash's reach. Like if you take a photo of a very long hallway. But I can never get the exposure correct. And it only works in full manual mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Have you tried a handheld light meter?Oh yeah I see the grip now... how much did that set you back? Once summer hits I may be more interested in that. Although I haven't had battery issues yet, I also haven't had much time to really play with the camera (classes, work, family).

It was quite a while back when I bought it. I found it on Amazon. The dual battery set up works well. I took it to China last year and I could shoot for 5 days before they needed a recharge.I just found the grip on Amazon. It is $59.95Opteka Battery Grip for D70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
