Traditionally, professional bodies don't include a built-in flash. We feel this is definitely an advantage, because even though a built-in flash is not as good as an external unit, having a small flash that's always available can save the day when light is very poor and you haven't brought your dedicated flash unit along. It also can be handy as a fill flash for backlit subjects. Of course you can buy one of Nikon's external flashes, either for higher power or to set up more elaborate lighting effects. To put the icing on the cake, the D200 has a synch terminal for a studio flash. ...

The ReadyNAS has better support than Buffalo's Terastation for both USB Flash and hard drives formatted with FAT32, NTFS, EXT2 or EXT3.

Figure 13: Three Flashes via a USB hub (click image to enlarge) I gave the USB print server a quick try with an Epson Stylus C80 printer. I'm not sure this was due to the printer connection, because even when I disconnected the printer, the other flash drives did not reappear. ...

The USB drive includes an LED indicator that flashes when the device is connected, and indicates when the flash RAM is being accessed. In addition to 9 mini hand-tools, you also get a USB flash drive in one portable package. The key fob that clips onto your key ring also doubles as the cover for the male USB socket on the flash drive, which is indented to receive the rest of the multi-tool package. A quick twist of the legs that lock into either side of the flash drive releases the tool for separate use. This multi-tool makes a peachy addition to any IT professional's keychain, because it brings a USB Flash drive together with so many usable hand tools in a compact package....

SB-600 Speedlight Flash Nikon offers two iTTL Speedlight flashes, the SB-800 and the SB-600. The SB-800 is also be capable of controlling and triggering additional SB-600 or SB-800 flashes, which is a feature that you will only want if you go professional. It's also great for taking natural light pictures in places where a flash is not allowed, or where it would tend to ruin the ambience of the scene....

Like all current consumer/prosumer cameras, the R1 has a built-in flash. The flash is usable from 1.6' to 28' (0.5 m to 8.5 m), and in wide-angle position provided you're in Auto ISO mode, since obviously its power is limited. Naturally this problem disappears with an external flash, which mounts on a standard hotshoe located on the camera's handgrip. Sony offers its own flashes, but you can use a standard model in manual or aperture priority mode....
