[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 11202, member: 1"] I just got my SB-700 and I'm loving it. Before I purchased I weighed my options while also looking at the sb-600. The sb-600 is now almost 7 years old and the sb-700 adds a lot of things found on the sb-900. [B]Here are some of the features that make it stand out over the sb-600:[/B] [LIST] [*]sensor size detection - DX and FX [*]master mode in AWL wireless i-TTL - SB-600 works as a slave only [*]direct buttons, switches & command dial have been improved [*]optical trigger mode SU-4 - The SB-600 lacks an optical slave mode [*]the battery compartment is designed better [*]360 degrees flash head swivel (270 degrees) [*]3 light distribution patterns [*]2 color correction filters included - yellow and green [*]longer zoom range at tele end (120 vs 85mm) [*]14mm coverage with wide-panel (at standard illumination, down to 12mm at center-weighted illumination) [*]8 stop manual power range down to 1/128 (vs 1/64) [*]reflector card built-in [*]optional water protection [*]more standard accessories - diffusion dome / bouncer SW-14H, incandescent filter SZ-3TN, fluorescent filter SZ-3FL, soft case SS-700, flash stand AS-22 [*]better overheating protection [/LIST] [B]Advantages of SB-600 over SB-700[/B] [B]The SB-600:[/B] [LIST] [*]is stronger with GN 30 (meters, ISO 100, 35mm reflector; GN is only 28 on SB-700) [*]is much cheaper – at least for some time: street price for SB-600 is $220; SB-700 was announced with a $329.95 price tag [*]is a bit smaller and lighter: 68 x 123.5 x 90mm and 300g; SB-700: 71 x 126 x 104.5mm and 360g) [*]supports the old D-TTL, plus film-based TTL [*]comes with a better flash stand, AS-19 - The new flash stand, AS-22, is as flimsy as the the SB-900′s AS-21 [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
