SB600 @ PC Show

[Zaf]

Well, guess everything sold at the PC Show is not a great buy. Got to shop around!!!

Just bought the SB-600 from Parisilk in Holland Village for $387 (with GST). Went in not looking for it and there it was

Still got stock left over there? how is the function of SB-600.. good? :think:

Personally, I think it's good enough for me.. heehee.. Today went out with Witness, Zodnm and SianRongz... He was playing with the CLS with both our SB-600s

Hahah...

Does the SB-600 have auto aperture mode?

Does the SB-600 have auto aperture mode?

i dun think so. it's either TTL or TTL BL or Manual. most of the functions are masked. locked down so you cannot change it. kind of reminds me of 10D and 300D, like sb-800 and sb-600.

Yes, the SB-600 is a hyped down version of the SB-800. Had a go at it, didn't really like the build & feel of it.

- No built in bounce card
- No diffuser
- No AS19 stand
and many more accessories.

The build looks less than solid as compared to the SB-80DX/SB800, it's somewhat similar to the SB-50DX in build & quality, quite satisfactory output on the D70 as tested with a 12-24DX on it.

Worth it or not, I guess it's up to individual, however, if you ask me the extra $200 for the SB-800 is worth it over the SB-600 or not... yes, I'll think so.

Of coz you can.. the NC is just a gathering of photographers that have a fetish for Nikon equipment and that are infected with NAS.. Nikon Acquisition Syndrome (ESPN is the head of this devilsion).. hehe..
