Digital camera reviews of Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: 1st one was defective
Summary: 4 Stars

Seems to work ok so far. The first one shipped was defective. Amazon replaced it and had a new one out to me in days of the request. Hopefully that defect was an isolated incidence.

Digital camera Review: A Fine Flash, But Pretty Big
Summary: 5 Stars

This Nikon unit certainly does its job. It is very well-made and solid with lots of adjustments possible. However, for an amateur such as myself it is probably more flash than I will ever use. I also have a Nikon SB400 Flash, a much smaller, lighter and less expensive device, which serves my needs well. What I am trying to say is that one should carefully consider one's planned uses before buying. Regardless of this, the SB600 is a fine flash and for those who need its many capabilities it can't be beaten. Buy it and enjoy it!

Digital camera Review: A GREAT flash!
Summary: 5 Stars

This SB600 flash looks like a small flash, but it puts out some great light. I like the fact that it can be used off camera as a remote flash with either my Nikon D70 or my Nikon D80 Camera. With TTL on, I am always assured of having great light. I highly recommend this flash. I now have 2 and would recommend this to anyone.

Digital camera Review: A Great Flash
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the flash that I use most of the time. I have the SB900, SB800 and SB400 and they are all excellent. The SB900 is an excellent flash but it is very large (and expensive) and I use it primarily in the commander mode if I am doing a wedding or other event where I need the wireless capabilities but I find it to large to want to carry it with me all the time. The SB800 (no longer available) is another excellent flash, smaller than the SB900 and a little larger than the SB600 and used to be my primary flash. I use it mostly as a remote flash now with the SB900 as the commander. The SB600 is smaller, lighter, less expensive and while its been around for a while is still a great flash. It can be used as a remote flash in the wireless mode with a camera with commander capabilities or the SB900. It has TTL and manuel mode and is very easy to dial in plus or minus exposure compensation. The only complaint I have with the flash is that it doesn't show the distance to subject when using it in manuel mode but since I use it in TTL mode most of the time and dial in +/- compensation its not a deal breaker. If you need more flash power than your camera flash can give this is the one to get.

Digital camera Review: A Smart Powerhouse
Summary: 5 Stars


This flash may not have the same power as the SB800, but it's compact, smart, and good enough for most of my needs. Combined with a digital Nikon SLR (I have the D70S) it exchanges lots of information with the camera and automatically adjusts the exposure and focal length of the flash. The display on the back can be a bit confusing but all the information is there. The flash power has been more than adequate.
