Which is value for money? SB800 or SB600?
What are the main differences on the two?

If you are going to use it as a controller for future expansion into CLS, then look at the SB-800. It can work as a master flash controller which can control the rest of the flash guns which you may get later on. SB-600's would suffice for the slaves.
But if you are looking at a simple flash unit for normal usage, then the SB-600 may be good enough. Using re-chargable batteries, they should last you well with decent refresh rate. Do remember not to stress it too much with low ISO and small apertures and high flash rate...
Wah bro..ppl buying first speedlight..and u poison him wif CLS..:bsmilie:

SB800 with body like d200 you can already do CLS. :bsmilie:
But most of the time I use manual and remote. :dunno:
YMMV
Wah chim! remote i can understand..(mainly IR or radio) but wats manual?
Correct me if i interpreted the whole thing wrongly..
Manual mode as in not using TTL/i-TTL and Auto mode, so u set ur brightness manually (1/1 - 1/128) according to judgement or experience.

SB-600 is defintely value for money, but always, if you have enuff $$$, go for SB-800.
Just a qn though, in terms of flash performance like lighting, exposure, and color, are the two flashes the same?

With D200, you dun even need SB-800... just use the body as a master and you can control up to 2 groups of slaves...
SB600 max zoom 85mm
SB800 max zoom 105mm
SB600 min manual power 1/64
SB800 min manual power 1/128
In terms of flash power, SB800 is better, it gives a higher GN..
SB800 additional feature-auto flash and multi/strobe and commander mode
That I know...
Maybe I ask in the wrong way, I was thinking whether the two flashes give the same result under a controlled environment, like something that both the flash can do, which means not beyond SB-600's power range, etc.
If yes, then I see no point getting a SB-800 if money is not enuff, though.:sweat:
