Nikon Speedlight SB-600 review
The SB-600 Speedlight is compact and powerful and gives you an impressive
array of creative scene lighting possibilities. Like the SB-800, it
supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System when used with digital SLR
cameras from Nikon’s D-series of cameras. When taking advantage of
Nikon’s acclaimed Advanced Wireless Lighting (including Modeling
Flash), you can use the SB-600 as one of an unlimited number of multiple
remote flashes to light a scene creatively. Advanced Auto FP High-Speed
Sync (D2H, D2Hs, D2X only) gives you ample fill-in flash even when you
shoot in bright conditions with wide aperture settings. Flash Value Lock
(FV Lock) lets you maintain the desired flash value when zooming or
recomposing a shot. The SB-600 comes complete with AS-19 Speedlight stand,
and soft case SS-600.
