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.

Customer Reviews

Wow.
I've used my friends SB-800. It made the light on his pictures better than just regular flash that you have on your Nikon.

I couldn't afford SB-800 just yet. So I searched for a less expensive flash, but also relates to the SB-800.

And there it is! The SB-600! Wayyyy cheaper than the 800. I'm LOVING it. My pictures are turning out wayyyyy better.

It fits onto a D80.

THE perfect flash for my D80
Can't say enough about how fantastic this flash has been for my D80. Absolutely night and day improvement in every part of my indoor and outdoor picture taking. Awesome feature set, and great functionality. Wouldn't consider anything else.

Great performance and a tight body
Versatile and very effecient speedlight. Tested it at night, during the day for fill. Great digital pic. Fast recovery.
