What method are you using to sync the flash at 1/400s?
My Canon set up has a high speed synch for the flash set up. I'd have thought that the Nikons do, as they are usually better for electronic wizardry than the Canons.

Yeah it does have high speed sync (or focal plane as they call it), now that I think of it though I realise I've never fully checked if they have extended it to wireless commander mode in the last couple of years. I know my D200 definitely didn't, wireless maxed out at 1/250s and all the radio wireless transmitters I've tried barely scrape 1/200s reliably. The D700 will sync at 1/320s with auto focal plane above that when the flash is in the hotshoe but I've never gotten it to work above 1/320s wirelessly.

Unless I've missed something this would be a very tempting reason to switch to Sony, they did inherit the Minolta flash system afterall and it was Minolta that pioneered all this wireless flash stuff back in the day.
