Nikon makes a cool little flash the sb400 its cheap, you will have to buy a cable to get the flash off your camera. Not sure if it comes with a defuser or not, but they are cheap too. I hardly ever use the flash, I like the natural light thing myself.
Yeah, I prefer natural light as well. I've always hated the effects I got with the flash on my old camera. When at all possible, I will try to work with what light I have or find ways to add light before using the flash. Once I get all these other basics down, I'll look into an external flash. (And don't worry, I won't try to yank the onboard flash off the camera! )
