I need a recommendation on where to purchase a mount flash for my coolpix 5400 at. Used will even do fine for me. Should I go websites, ebay, other?

I am hoping not to spend too much money (meaning hopefully not more than $200; significantly cheaper if possible).

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey Spar, before you make a purchase, have you researched all your options. Here (http://www.bythom.com/coolflash.htm) is an article I found that may be of some help.

Would be nice if I understood all the terminology :) I need some more education camera parts in general I think.

I have a friend who is very into aquatic photography that recommended a Sunpak flash. Here is one somewhat inexpensive on eBay:

Look like a good deal? Cheapest I could find for this product on the internet.

I do not plan on buying for a little while, so any advice/recommendations in the mean time would be great. Thanks!

Since I have no experience with your camera, I can only research for you, as I already did. Hopefully someone with hands on experience with your setup can offer more help. Perhaps another owner of your camera will pick this up and give you more direction.
