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.

The Perfect Mate for a Nikon Digital SLR, August 31, 2004
Reviewer: R. Rosener "Photomatic"
This is the first time I have ever purchased a dedicated flash. I have
used the Superb Vivitar 283 and 285 strobes for years with no complaints.
However, after buying the Nikon D70, I felt the need for a TTL flash. The
camera's built-in pop-up flash works OK, but I wanted something to get
more control of.
The SB600 does 95% of what the more expensive SB-800 does for half the
price:
Bounce Flash: Not only can you move the head vertically, you can rotate it
270 degrees to get some sweet sidelit effects. The iTTL makes bounce flash
simple and accurate. When you manually zoom the lens, the SB 600 zooms the
flash head to automatically match your focal length-and very quietly too.
Power: No problem here. It can easily light an average room. 4 AA
batteries give plenty of juice, and the '600 powers itself down to energy
saver mode. More important, it powers back up quickly when you're ready to
shoot. Continued next
