flashes!
Hey guy's! hope you all had a good weekend.
Need to pick your brains... Im getting a flash for my nikon and not sure weather to get the SB-600 or the SB-800.
also if using it wireless to be triggered, do you need a wireless trigger for both?
any input would be great, cheers

I have the Sb 800, and it's easy to trigger remotely using your cam as a master without needing a wire.
800 is more powerful, and if you need the range then its the obvious choice.

Good luck - if it were me I'd go for the 800 too - and will be when I've saved up for one!

If you don't need the extra power of the 800, and are on a tight budget - get the 600, otherwise I'd get the 800

I thought the SB800 has already been replaced by the new SB900?

But the SB600 is MORE than anyone will really need unless doing pro shoots.
My SB600 is perfect.
And it's wireless.
