I know MS color is cheaper lah. I waited for SB600 for so long then end up at the booth, a guy was telling me SB600 they only have 6 piece and say made in china. As I wanted to buy diffuser also, he say SB 800 from Japan and got diffuser and other stuff lor. much better then SB600. so in the end settle with SB800. At least its $1 cheaper the CP.

Made in where is not a matter nowadays......with the globalization of the industry....
rgds,
me
Another diff will be the shorter recycling time with the Quick Recycling Battery Pack... i.e SB800- 2.7s, SB-600-3.5s...and of course with the additional stuff like Quick Recycle Battery Pack, Speedlight Stand, Colored Filter Set, Diffusion Dome etc...
just take the Sb-600 off the cam and use CLS to trigger it. better still rite?tanhb said:
more info on the different flashes

Another point :
If i wanted to use Non CLS slave units with the SB-600 it would cause them to have trigger early because SB-600 CLS has Pre FLash and cannot be turned off. While SB-800 can.
I went down to the PC Show today.. saw the SB-800 but didn't see the 600 leh... hmm.. weirdSianZronG said:just take the Sb-600 off the cam and use CLS to trigger it. better still rite?

Seems like most ppl who wanted to get the Sb-600 ended up getting the SB-800 instead.. lol.. considering which to get now.. sigh

Buy an SC-17 or SC-29 and do TTL off body flash.. -7 degrees is a niggle.. not a nag..

Yes I would think so..
As much as the SB800 (is like God sent to many people especially people like ESPN).. but it is not a miracle..
If you dont need the RAW power of the SB800.. and you are using it more for casually photography.. I see no reason to spend the extra 200+ dollars on the SB800.. also.. that 200 can be used to purchase other essential stuff like more CF.. or other things..
As for the things like a speedlight stand.. that can be bought saparately.. AS-19.. at about 10.00 per piece.. Question.. how often will you use it anyway.. honestly.. I have not used mine anymore then 5 times.. other then to do some CLS demo's..
That 200 saved.. can be used for lots more things.. especially if a flash to you.. is only used as a need to use.. and not a must use.. if you get what I mean.
And if you (generalizing) do tell me that.. the recycling time is faster on the SB800 and blah blah blah.. and that you shoot events.. then.. you should not be just using the SB800.. but the SB-8A too... and the DC batt in as well.. hehe..
Buy what you need.. and remember.. make the tool work for you.. and not the other way..
