From the Manufacturer
Nikon introduces the Speedlight SB-600, a compact flash packed with impressive functionality inherited from the renowned SB-800. It serves as a solid base for the Nikon Creative Lighting System when used in combination with Nikon D70 or D2H digital SLRs.

When used in combination with Nikon's latest digital SLRs, the D70 or D2H, the SB-600 supports Advanced Wireless Lighting as a remote Speedlight that can be positioned as one of multiple remote flashes to significantly extend creative possibilities. To assist in such situations, the Speedlight SB-600 also has two Ready Lights located on both the left and right of the front that can be easily seen from a distance. The SB-600 can also emit an audible alert for further assistance.

Auto FP High-Speed Sync enables the use of Fill-Flash even in bright daylight with wide aperture settings for the achievement of outstanding results and new creative possibilities, including the effective blurring for of out-of-focus background elements. An optional color filter set SJ-1 is also available, allowing imaginative shooting to be pushed even further.

White balance is optimized through the use of flash color information obtained by the Speedlight. The SB-600 also features FV lock, which gives the user the convenience of being able to maintain the measured flash value while recomposing the shot to achieve the appropriate flash output for the subject.

It also offers uncomplicated operation made simpler by an easy-to-view LCD with only six buttons, each of which is backlit and simple to understand.

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 also delivers plenty of style, both in its compact dimensions and a triangular motif consistent with the Nikon D-SLR theme.

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 comes complete with a Speedlight stand and a soft case, while two flash cables (the SC-29 and SC-28) and the Color Filter Set (SJ-1) are available as options.

Great Flash - Great Deal
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.

great strobe
this is a great addition to any nikon dslr. the only thing better in portability is having more + a sb-800. get creative and use them off camera as well. i highly recommend have this flash as an addition to your gear.
