Great flash/Great Price 
2008-07-08
It was an SB-800 or SB-600. After using both inside and outside, it was clear that for your average user the SB-600 was more than enough. For the extras you get with the SB-800 you pay too much for too little. There's definitely a time and a place for the SB-800 but I would recommend anyone to save your money and go with the SB-600...or get 2 even.
Works great 2008-07-07
Works great for indoor pictures as well as complementing outdoor lighting. Make sure you get a diffuser to go with it to soften the light when needed. 4 AA goes a long way, I have had no problems after taking 400+ pictures.
SB600, an enlightening source of light in my life 2008-07-05
The SB600 is almost for everybody. Just reading tonight that Nikon introduced on July 1 its new flagship speed light, the SB900 flash. Unless you really need the power as a pro, save some $340.00 and buy SB600. I have been using the SB600 for two years, first with Nikon D70, and now with my bellowed D200. SB600 is probably the best and wisest choice for 90-95% of us, enthusiasts or even retired semi-professionals who used to write (and take their own pictures) while employed by decent print media (like me, in Central Europe.) I have used the SB600 many times, also as a remotely controlled flash. It never disappointed me. In maybe 1-2% situations, any minor range deficiency in lighting of SB600 can easily be adjusted / corrected in Photoshop. If money is absolutely no object or any new hi-tech gadget makes you happy or you know exactly what you are doing and why, then buy SB800 or perhaps it's brand new upgrade, the SB900. Otherwise, the SB600 is powerful, relatively very small and very light to carry in your pocket, if necessary, so go for it.
One of the best accessories for your Nikon dSLR! 2008-06-18
Bought to go with my Nikon D60.
Although this flash seems spendy, once you have it you won't regret spending the coin! I went back and forth on whether to buy this at all and then back and forth on whether to cough up even more for the SB-800. As you will see, there are many reviews explaining the differences and the justifications one way or another.
I'm glad I went with the 600. I have found it to have plenty of power and range. The features on it are more than what most need and I, personally, don't need the remote slave feature of the 800. The auto mode works very well and I rarely use any other mode but when I have I have been very pleased with the outcome.
If money is no object then buy the SB-800 for the extra range but otherwise this is the flash to buy.
Excellent Flash. 2008-06-15
This is an excellent flash. It makes a huge difference over the built in one.
Great price performance 
2008-07-21
I was torn between this flash and the SB-800. I decided to save a little money and do with out more poser and I think one extra feature. Very satisfied. I do not use all the features on the flash - it is beyond my needs, but I like knowing they are there. I am happy with my compromise
Loving it so far... 2008-07-21
My wife bought be this for my birthday to go with my D80 and it's great. Lots of options. The wireless capabilities are great.
Great TTL flash! 2008-07-12
I bought one with my Nikon D80. I've since bought another. There is a lot of good information in the other reviews here, so I won't blab, but I love the wireless capabilities of this flash. It seems to do most everything the SB-800 will do (the SB-800 is more powerful though). It is also lighter than the SB-800. The cost of the SB-600 vs. the SB-800 made it a no brainer for me. I used both SB-600's and an SB-800 to do a large family outdoor protrait a few weeks ago. The flashes are awesome. Why not get 2?
Works great 2008-07-10
This flash saved me when I had to photograph my cousins wedding. She chose a very low lit - nearly dark - venue and this flash did not let me down. The anti-red eye worked great and the photographs I took came out great thanks to this flash.
Best option for the price 2008-07-09
It can do almost everything that the SB-800 can, plus it's a lot cheaper and lighter. Unless you need one of the feature provided by the SB-800, this flash will be a better choice.
