I know there's been a few through here so wondered if anyone had one they didn't use any more. Please PM/Post if you do.

Chris.

Thanks Micah, please let me know. There don't seem to be many SB600's out there even on ebay and I'm not sure I need an 800.

From what I've seen the big benefits of the 800 are that it is a little brighter and can control slave units. The brightness isn't a big deal to me nor is the control and, even if it was, the smart thing to do would seem to be to get a 600 now then an 800 later to control the 600 as a slave (although I doubt I'll get that far!).

The SB600 I have seen is around $200 new with batteries and charger or about $130-140 used.

Chris.

ahhh ok that makes more sense, i thought the 600 would do that as well, explains the almost $100 difference then i guess

That's a good deal. They are over $300 from reputable online dealers. BTW, I would spend the extra money on the SB800. It's like power in your car, you don't always use it, but it is nice to know you have it if/when you need it!
