Nikon SB-600 versus SB-800 Flash Comparison














From the Ken Rockwell site:

These are Nikon's latest flashes. They are very similar
and both are excellent.

These new flashes are completely backwards compatible
with old and even ancient Nikon cameras. Either one works
perfectly with every TTL exposure mode of every film and digital
Nikon camera ever made since the 1950s....Comparison Here

I understand some of you don't care for Ken Rockwell's advice.
So if you have better unbiased links please share them.

One thing that D40 owners might want to consider when choosing a speedlight is that the SB-800 has an SU-4 slave mode.

It looks like this would allow us to try out off camera flash slaved to the pop up flash, even though the D40 doesn't have a built in command for CLS.

I'm still trying to decide myself how to get the most bang per buck.
