You gain those features: # larger, higher definition review screen # higher ISO 3200 sensitivity # more compactness and lightness but lost those: * only internal focus motor AF-S and AF-I lenses autofocus * three AF sensors, down from five * top LCD status display removed, information provided by the back screen * direct access to resolution, white balance and sensitivity settings removed A good thing is that Nikon keep the 1/500s (unlimited in fact, electronic) flash sync. For the SB-400, I'm not sure it could be useful for interior photo because its coverage is only 28 mm equivalent. It should not be noticeable with a 24 mm eq., but not under, unless with a wide-angle converter like a sto-fen omni-bounce.
