With the D70 you can adjust the flash output of the internal flash as well. Hold the flash button on the left side and use the dail to adjust the output. That's one of the very useful features that IMHO makes a big difference to get well balanced flash photos, but these days everyone thinks megapixel is what counts. :-/

I'd say you got the slow sync flash just right in this instance. Your subject's face is pin sharp and the gift is sharp enough to see what it is, whilst everything around is a swirl of activity. Marvelous! A lower viewpoint might have had more impact and allowed us to see more of his face, but that may also have resulted in a cluttered backround, so I think you achieved a good compromise.

Thanks Shane. So far I've been limited to either using the built in flash TTL or older flashes in manual mode. I'm hoping to pick up an SB-800 in the near future. Making all their old flashes obsolete with digital is probably my biggest gripe with Nikon. Would it have been too much to ask for backward compatibility even if the TTL wasn't perfect? It would still have to be an improvement on going back to manual mode with a PC Sync.

TTL slow sync is very easy with the D70. What I do is set the shutter speed to whatever you want ... say 1/30th sec, and then reduce the flash output by approx 2 stops. This can be done in camera if you have a Nikon SB flasgun - alternatively you could use a few layers of tissue. It wont take you long to perfect it.
