Hey guys.

I got the Nikon D200 in the end of the summer and to my great surprise my old Sigma flash did not work with it. Now I am looking at a new Nikon flash, either the SB-600 or the SB-800.

Figured the best way to get advice and tips for my setup was to ask here.

Any input is highly appreciated.

I will mostly use the flash for weddings if thats any help...

Thanks

Timo

Timo - although I have the SB800, the SB600 is an excellent flash at quite a bit less money. The 600 has 2/3 stop less power than the 800 and no built-in diffuser (not a big deal) and white 'bounce card'. SB800 has socket for external battery packs, I don't think the SB600 does (check that out if its important to you). Hopefully others more knowledgeable will give you better comparisons.
