Flashes

Nikon has just introduced their new SB-700, a compact and easy-to-use multi-functional Speedlight for Nikon digital SLR cameras.

It looks like a lot of Nikon retailers do not have any SB-600 flashes in stock (and haven't for a couple weeks now). Some are marking it as discontinued in their systems. Does this mean a replacement for the 6 year old SB-600 is coming? More than likely! Here's a short convo with a CompUSA rep:

Update: As it turns out, a shipping containing a whole lot of Nikon flashes was lost. The SB-600 is now back in stock everywhere.
