Editorial Review:
When used in combination with Nikon's latest digital SLRs, the D70 or D2H, the SB-600 supports Advanced Wireless Lighting as a remote Speedlight that can be positioned as one of multiple remote flashes to significantly extend creative possibilities. To assist in such situations, the Speedlight SB-600 also has a readylight located beside the LCD on the rear panel that can be easily seen from a distance. The SB-600 can also emit an audible alert for further assistance.

partnered with d40
...so far so good. somehow big for d40 but i guess if you want it more powerfull than sb40 then it has to be larger right? great controls resulting in great pics so far.
Great product
This is a great addition to your DSLR. I have a Nikon D40 and the built-in flash is inadequate for indoor shots. I tilt this flash straight up and bounce off ceiling. Pictures come out without the ugly glare look and very even. You may think the price is expensive for just a "flash" but its well worth it. And don't try to go cheap with third party flashes, they don't communicate as well with the camera as first party models
Nikon Flash
Love it. When I first brought it home I had my grandson hide in a dark room and I just pointed and took shots aroung the room as a game of hide and seek to see how good the flash was and when we looked at the photos I won the game. The flash was powerful enough to find my grandson in the dark room. It was great.
Powerful Choice !
After reading some reviews in deciding between Sb-800 and SB-600 I went for SB-600 and put the money I saved towards buying a good lens. I didn't loose too much in choosing SB-600 over SB-800. Flash range is pretty decent and a fully charged rechargeable (NIMH 2100) gave me around 200 shots (depends upon usage). I shot a wedding with it right after it came out of the box. In general pictures were properly exposed and the built-in diffuser produced noticibly soft effects on face. Bounce back flash result... more info
