 A Starter Flash October 15, 2008

This is a good basic i-ttl Nikon flash. The SB-600 is a very basic flash that once it is connected to a Nikon camera the two communicate with each other.
I won't go into all the functions and features others have done that and very well I might add. You slide the flash on the camera and turn both on and they work wow! what more could you want.
This flash does have some limits and one must still beware of taking pictures of black and white areas or clothing which will either cause underexposure or overexposure, be sure to take a look a the last picture and check out the histogram to ensure that the exposure is correct.
If I had to do it over again I would spend the extra money and get the Nikon SB-800 it may cost a bit more, but for the power, features, functions and extras that you get with it is a plus and may over the long run be a better value.
Other than using the SB-600 in auto, manual or dial a power level that's about all you can do with the SB-600, but if that's all you need it for buy it, it's still the best and don't bother wasting your time and money on getting a third party flash that may or may not work with your Nikon camera, just get the real thing the first time I know I purchased the Sigma EF-500 DG Super for my Nikon D60 and it did not work.
an alternative to the sb-400 October 15, 2008
if you want a stronger flash than the sb-400 without breaking the bank, this is it. get it soon, as nikon will be replacing it with the newer sb-700 which will cost more.

Great strobe with a very solid feel. Flawless performance and great battery life that balances well on my D70s and D40x cameras. I also have an SB-800 and the two work perfectly together in Remote mode with the D70s internal flash as the master. I took a series of test shots and progressively changed the output to judge the degree of control available. The SB-600 is capable of 1/3 f-stop output control or better. I highly recommend this strobe and think it should be your first choice over the SB-800 or new (and even more expensive SB-900) unless you have the rare need to have group control over multiple flash units or if your camera's internal strobe cannot act as a remote master. Then the SB-800 is your best bet. Otherwise, save your money and use it to buy other gear.
Great Camera Shop! October 7, 2008
This is the BEST camera shop! I will always get my camera supplies from them. I am a professional photographer and will always get my camera supplies from the USA camera shop. I needed a speedlight SB 600 and it came on time and I LOVE IT. Great job USA camera shop!

Great Flash - Great Deal October 4, 2008

I recently purchased the Nikon SB-600 to replace an older Nikon SB-80 flash. I did this because of the recent changes in Nikon cameras where my SB-80 would no longer sync up. I was very reticent to make the change as the SB-80 was such a great flash...and I really couldn't justify the cost of the SB-800 for may photography hobby. My son (pro photographer) convinced me that the SB-600 would give me everything I needed in an external flash..do decided to try it. He was absolutely right! The flash works very well with my Nikon D40/Nikon 18mm-200m VR setup! I don't feel I've lost any of the functions I had with the SB-80, save for not including the flash diffuser (about $13 to buy one) that I'll have to purchase (wonder why Nikon doesn't include it like they did for the SB-80??). If you need a very high-quality external flash unit with a ton of options/funcitons...I would highly recommend the Nikon SB-600, as the price vs. what you get in quality/functionality ratio is very good. What you gain in going up to SB-800 is negligable unless you need the all the pro-level off camera remote functionality. What you lose for a small price difference if you go down to SB-400 where you lose a lot of the features and shooting distance available in the SB-600 does not justify the "savings". The Nikon SB-600 offers perhaps the best value/functionality package in the marketplace.
